Semigroup analysis of structured parasite populations
Motivated by structured parasite populations in aquaculture we consider a class of size-structured population models, where individuals may be recruited into the population with distributed states at birth. The mathematical model which describes the evolution of such a population is a first-order nonlinear partial integro-differential equation of hyperbolic type. First, we use positive perturba...
متن کاملParasite populations: The puzzle of Plasmodium
The issue of whether the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is effectively clonal, as some argue, or undergoes outcrossing at a high rate, as many others believe, has been controversial. Recent data support the latter view, though no doubt the puzzle has not yet been laid to rest.
متن کاملSequencing rare T-cell populations
High-throughput sequencing of T cell (TCR) receptor repertoires is a promising approach that can be used to characterize the state and dynamics of adaptive immunity and, potentially, to deduce the antigen specificity of the immune response [1]. While the number of applications of TCR profiling is constantly growing, basic protocols have several drawbacks that are making it difficult to utilize ...
متن کاملA Graph-Based Clustering Approach to Identify Cell Populations in Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data
Introduction: The emergence of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has provided new information about the structure of cells, and provided data with very high resolution of the expression of different genes for each cell at a single time. One of the main uses of scRNA-seq is data clustering based on expressed genes, which sometimes leads to the detection of rare cell populations. ...
متن کاملLinking parasite populations in hosts to parasite populations in space through Taylor's law and the negative binomial distribution.
The spatial distribution of individuals of any species is a basic concern of ecology. The spatial distribution of parasites matters to control and conservation of parasites that affect human and nonhuman populations. This paper develops a quantitative theory to predict the spatial distribution of parasites based on the distribution of parasites in hosts and the spatial distribution of hosts. Fo...
