چکیده

A reaction diffusion system with a distributed time delay is proposed for virus spread on bacteria immobilized on an agar-coated plate. A distributed delay explicitly accounts for a virus latent period of variable duration. The model allows the number of virus progeny released when an infected cell lyses to depend on the duration of the latent period. A unique spreading speed for virus infection is established and traveling wave solutions are shown to exist.

On Spread of Phage Infection of Bacteria in a Petri Dish

A reaction diffusion system with time delay is proposed for virus spread on bacteria immobilized on an agar-coated plate. The delay explicitly accounts for a virus latent period of fixed duration. An interval of possible spreading speeds for virus infection is established, and traveling wave solutions are shown to exist. Linear determinacy of spreading speed breaks down for some parameter values.

A Case of Methotrexate Intoxication Misdiagnosed as Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever

[No Abstract] Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is considered as the most important arboviral infection in Iran. Early diagnosis of CCHF is essential for preventing the spread of the infection and providing appropriate treatment to patients. Given that clinical symptoms of CCHF may overlap with other common infectious disease; differential diagnosis is a matter of great importance. In this...

The conversion of nitrate in water to diatomic nitrogen gas by immobilized Pseudomonas stutzeri on vermiculite

Denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (Mg, Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2·4H2O with several layers for bacterial immobilization. The goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...
