Ebola could be eradicated through voluntary vaccination
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe infection with an extremely high fatality rate spread through direct contact with body fluids. A promising Ebola vaccine (rVSV-ZEBOV) may soon become universally available. We constructed a game-theoretic model of Ebola incorporating individual decisions to vaccinate. We found that if a population adopts selfishly optimal vaccination strategies, then the po...
متن کاملCould autoimmunity be induced by vaccination?
Autoimmune reactions to vaccinations may rarely be induced in predisposed individuals by molecular mimicry or bystander activation mechanisms. Autoimmune reactions reliably considered vaccine-associated, include Guillain-Barré syndrome after 1976 swine influenza vaccine, immune thrombocytopenic purpura after measles/mumps/rubella vaccine, and myopericarditis after smallpox vaccination, whereas ...

Abstract. National policies regarding the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis vary greatly throughout the international community and several countries are currently considering discontinuing universal vaccination. Detractors of BCG point to its uncertain effectiveness and its interference with the detection and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). In order to quantify the trade-off betw...
متن کاملThe HPV Vaccination Strategy: Could Male Vaccination Have a Significant Impact?
We investigate the potential success of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, taking into consideration possible waning immunity and the influence of behavioural parameters. We use a compartmental, population-level ordinary differential equation (ODE) model. We find the effective reproductive value for HPV, Re0, which measures the threshold for infection outbreak in a population that is not ...
متن کاملCertificates Talk about certificates in QE
Today we continue with some additional aspects of quantifier elimination. We will then recall the Positivstellensatz and its relations with semidefinite programming. After introducing copositive matrices, we present Pólya’s theorem on positive forms on the simplex, and the associated relaxations. Finally, we conclude with an important result due to Schmüdgen about representation of positive pol...
