متن کاملMousepox: A Small Animal Model for Biodefense Research
Ectromelia virus is the causative agent of the disease mousepox. Mousepox is arguably the best small animal model available for the study of smallpox. This model is under utilized due to ectromelia virus’ potential to cause explosive epizootics in mouse colonies; however, with modern animal husbandry techniques and biocontainment facilities, these concerns are no longer founded. The mousepox mo...
متن کاملFacilitating Biodefense Research with Mobile-Cloud Computing
This paper proposes the use of a mobile-cloud by combining mobile devices and the cloud together in a biodefense and emerging infectious diseases (BEI) research application scenario. A mobile-cloud framework is developed to facilitate the use of mobile devices to collect data for, and manipulate and interact with the scientific workflows running in the Cloud. In this framework, an independent t...
