Ecology Of Infectious Diseases: An Example with Two Vaccine-Preventable Infectious Diseases

Numerical solution of the spread of infectious diseases mathematical model based on shifted Bernstein polynomials

The Volterra delay integral equations have numerous applications in various branches of science, including biology, ecology, physics and modeling of engineering and natural sciences. In many cases, it is difficult to obtain analytical solutions of these equations. So, numerical methods as an efficient approximation method for solving Volterra delay integral equations are of interest to many res...

Antitumor Effects of HPV DNA Vaccine Adjuvanted with Beclin-1 as an Autophagy Inducer in a Mice Model

Background: There is a growing interest in development of an effective adjuvant system for improving DNA vaccines. Recent findings have confirmed an important role for autophagy in both innate and adaptive immunity. The current study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of autophagy induction with Beclin-1, as a novel adjuvant system, in mice immunized with human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA v...

Epiglottitis in Pre and Post Haemophilus Influenza Type-b Vaccine Era: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background and purpose: Epiglottitis is an uncommon life threatening pediatric disease. Evidence suggests some changes in etiology and incidence of this disease after vaccination against H-influenza type b. This Meta-analysis and systematic review aimed at investigating the etiology and incidence of acute epiglottitis in pre and post H-influenza vaccination era. Materials and methods: A system...

Cross-immunity study of two experimentally oil-emulsion inactivated Infectious bronchitis vaccines in SPF chickens

A study has been carried out for determining of cross-immunity between Massachusetts (Mass) M41 and Iranian IR/773/2001 (793/B) strains of infectious bronchitis virus. Two groups of 20 three weeks old SPF chickens vaccinated subcutaneously with two oil-emulsions inactivated Infectious Bronchitis Vaccines (Mass M41 and Iranian IR/773/2001 strains) that had been manufactured in Razi institute in ...
