Effect of bird-to-bird transmission of the West Nile virus on the dynamics of the transmission of this disease.

چکیده
Two recent publications report that direct bird-to-bird transmission of West Nile virus is possible. The effect of a bird-to-bird transmission on the transmission dynamics of this virus is studied through mathematical modeling. The model still treats the bird-to-mosquito-to-bird as the main transmission route. The results of numerical calculations show that there are changes in the dynamics of the transmission of West Nile fever in humans when the non-mosquito transmission route becomes more important.

BACKGROUND: West Nile virus (WNV) is a vector-borneagent that is maintained within a bird-mosquito cycle. In humansand equids, infection by this agent is usually asymptomatic, orcharacterized by a mild febrile illness. However, fatal meningoencephalitisor encephalitis may occur. OBJECTIVES:The aim ofthis study was to evaluate the prevalence of WNVinfection andcorrelation of this organism with h...
متن کاملDynamic of West Nile Virus transmission considering several coexisting avian populations
West Nile Virus is an arthropod-borne flavivirus that appeared for the first time in New York City in the summer of 1999 and then spread prolifically within birds, with over 200 species having been infected. Mammals, such as humans and horses, do not develop sufficiently high bloodstream titers to play a significant role in transmission, which is a reason for considering the mosquito–bird cycle...
متن کاملThe impact of avian species diversity and the transmission dynamics of West Nile virus
There are many compartmental models in literature about West Nile virus, but seldom of them considers the impact of bird species diversity except Rongsong Liu, Jianhong Wu and Huaiping Zhu??????. In this work, we formulate a system of delay differential equations to model the transmission of West Nile virus with an emphasis on the impact of the diversity of involving avian species. We classify ...

Newcastle Disease (ND) is a major viral disease in Indonesia. It is an RNA virus belongs to Paramyxovirinae. It is well known that RNA virus is easily to mutate. In some cases, this mutation could generate virulence alteration. It is noted that mutation of NDV which has avirulent amino acid sequence on the cleavage site, could mutate to be virulent Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV). It is needed to...
