As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spreads, the susceptible
subpopulation declines causing the rate at which new infections occur to slow down …

Wolbachia has been introduced into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to control the spread of
arboviruses, such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Studies showed that certain Wolbachia …

Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-binding natural antibody (NAb) titers in chickens are
heritable, and higher levels have previously been associated with a higher survival. This …

A detailed understanding of how host fitness changes in response to variations in microbe
density (an ecological measure of disease tolerance) is an important aim of infection …

Heterogeneity in host susceptibility is a key determinant of infectious disease dynamics but
is rarely accounted for in assessment of disease control measures. Understanding how …

Hosts in free-living populations can experience substantial variation in the frequency and
dose of pathogen exposure, which can alter disease progression and protection from future …

The presence of heterogeneity in susceptibility, differences between hosts in their likelihood
of becoming infected, can fundamentally alter disease dynamics and public health …

The COVID-19 pandemic with its new variants has severely affected the whole world socially
and economically. This study presents a novel data analysis approach to predict the spread …

Mathematical models are increasingly adopted for setting disease prevention and control
targets. As model-informed policies are implemented, however, the inaccuracies of some …

Baiting tests were conducted to evaluate the effect of increasing Solenopsis invicta virus 3
(SINV-3) dose on fire ant colonies. Actively growing early-stage fire ant (Solenopsis invicta …
