Analysis with Mathematical Models Provides Insights into Infectious Diseases
M uch of microbiological research on infectious agents is increasingly specialized and reductionist, viewing the host as a virtually static environment and thus sharply narrowing the context of the disease under study. We advocate an alternative quantitative approach that enables investigators to go beyond their reliance on conventional and somewhat simplified qualitative terms for describing e...
متن کاملon Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases : Epidemic Models with Treatment
Infectious diseases affect both animals and humans and cause significant financial losses and loss of lives every year around the world. For developing nations like India the losses are all the more critical because they affect economic growth (i.e. loss of animals and labor). Mathematical models have become important tools in analyzing the spread and control of infectious diseases. The modelli...
متن کاملInfectogenomics: Insights from the Host Genome into Infectious Diseases
Five years into the human postgenomic era, we are gaining considerable knowledge about host-pathogen interactions through host genomes. This "infectogenomics" approach should yield further insights into both diagnostic and therapeutic advances, as well as normal cellular function.
متن کاملImmunoglobulin Profiles Provide New Insights into Infectious Diseases
New technologies are being developed which will facilitate measurement of IgG subclass responses to disease and vaccination. To illustrate the potential benefit of determining antibody subclass profiles, special features of the less abundant subclasses are discussed in relation to specific infectious disease problems.
