Estimating medium- and long-term trends in malaria transmission by using serological markers of malaria exposure.
The implementation and evaluation of malaria control programs would be greatly facilitated by new tools for the rapid assessment of malaria transmission intensity. Because acquisition and maintenance of antimalarial antibodies depend on exposure to malaria infection, such antibodies might be used as proxy measures of transmission intensity. We have compared the prevalence of IgG antibodies with...
متن کاملProtein folding rates estimated from contact predictions.
Folding rates of small single-domain proteins that fold through simple two-state kinetics can be estimated from details of the three-dimensional protein structure. Previously, predictions of secondary structure had been exploited to predict folding rates from sequence. Here, we estimate two-state folding rates from predictions of internal residue-residue contacts in proteins of unknown structur...
متن کاملInferring malaria parasite population structure from serological networks
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is characterized by high levels of genetic diversity at antigenic loci involved in virulence and immune evasion. Knowledge of the population structure and dynamics of these genes is important for designing control programmes and understanding the acquisition of immunity to malaria; however, high rates of homologous and non-homologous recombination as w...
متن کاملSecure data transmission system offering on-demand multiple data rates
We designed, built, and demonstrated a novel OCDMA multi code transmitter and receiver capable of a Gigabit operation, runs error free with a capability of a bit-to-bit code swapping using fast wavelength-hopping time-spreading OCDMA codes. BER less than 10 was measured and no error floor was observed. By implementing optical layer XOR, our novel transmitter/receiver pair enables One-time Pad d...
متن کاملTransmission of encephalomyocarditis virus in pigs estimated from field data in Belgium by means of R0.
Transmission of encephalomyocarditis-virus (EMCV) has been estimated in experiments, but never using field data. In this field study, a farm in Belgium was selected where the presence of EMCV was confirmed by necropsy and virus isolation. Serology was used to estimate the transmission parameter R0. In one compartment with 630 pigs, 6 pens were fully sampled, in the remaining 38 pens, 2 randomly...
