Spatial-explicit modeling of social vulnerability to malaria in East Africa
BACKGROUND Despite efforts in eradication and control, malaria remains a global challenge, particularly affecting vulnerable groups. Despite the recession in malaria cases, previously malaria free areas are increasingly confronted with epidemics as a result of changing environmental and socioeconomic conditions. Next to modeling transmission intensities and probabilities, integrated spatial met...
متن کاملMassive Molecular Outflows at High Spatial Resolution
We present high-spatial resolution Plateau de Bure Interferometer CO(2–1) and SiO(2–1) observations of one intermediate-mass and one high-mass star-forming region. The intermediate-mass region IRAS 20293+3952 exhibits four molecular outflows, one being as collimated as the highly collimated jet-like out-flows observed in low-mass star formation sources. Furthermore, comparing the data with addi...
متن کاملIdentifying chromatin interactions at high spatial resolution
This thesis presents two computational approaches for identifying chromatin interactions at high spatial resolution from ChIA-PET data. We introduce SPROUT which is a hierarchical probabilistic model that discovers high confidence interactions between binding events that it accurately locates. We apply SPROUT to CTCF ChIA-PET data from mouse embryonic stem cells and demonstrate that SPROUT disc...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput High-Resolution Class I HLA Genotyping in East Africa
HLA, the most genetically diverse loci in the human genome, play a crucial role in host-pathogen interaction by mediating innate and adaptive cellular immune responses. A vast number of infectious diseases affect East Africa, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, but the HLA genetic diversity in this region remains incompletely described. This is a major obstacle for the design and eva...
متن کاملSeroconversion to circumsporozoite antigen of Plasmodium falciparum demonstrates a high risk of malaria transmission in travelers to East Africa.
Circumsporozoite (CS) antibodies have been shown to be reliable indicators of malaria transmission in endemic areas. Their prevalence in travelers can indicate the degree of exposure to plasmodial infection. Two hundred sixty-two short-term travelers to Kenya were recruited to a prospective study to determine the incidence of CS antibody conversion. All travelers were receiving malaria chemopro...
