Potential impact of tuberculosis vaccines as epidemic control agents.
We use 2 simple mathematical models (one a preexposure vaccine model and the other a postexposure vaccine model) to provide general insight into the effects of vaccination on tuberculosis epidemics. We discuss how these models can be used as health policy tools: to identify which vaccines are "equivalent," to design control strategies, and to predict the epidemiological impact of different vacc...
متن کاملVaccines as Epidemic Insurance
This paper explores the relationship between the research for and development of vaccines against global pandemics and insurance. It shows that development in advance of pandemics of a portfolio of effective and government-approved vaccines does have some insurance properties: it requires incurring costs that are certain (the costs of discovering, developing, and testing vaccines) in return for...
متن کاملPotential Public Health Impact of New Tuberculosis Vaccines
Developing effective tuberculosis (TB) vaccines is a high priority. We use mathematical models to predict the potential public health impact of new TB vaccines in high-incidence countries. We show that preexposure vaccines would be almost twice as effective as postexposure vaccines in reducing the number of new infections. Postexposure vaccines would initially have a substantially greater impac...
متن کاملThe Development and Impact of Tuberculosis Vaccines
Vaccination is expected to make a major contribution to the goal of eliminating tuberculosis worldwide by 2050. But developing a new effective vaccine will require innovation in scientific research, a proactive approach to clinical trials of new vaccine candidates, and application of vaccines as part of an integrated approach to disease control.
متن کاملDesign and Synthesis of 4-flurophthalimides as potential anticonvulsant agents
Objective(s): Anticonvulsant activity of phthalimide was discovered in 2000 by molecular hybridization of thalidomide and ameltolide. In our previous research we have reported some new 4-substituted derivatives of phthalimide with good activity against the tonic and clonic seizures Material and Methods: A series of novel 4-flurophthalimides that designed using bioisosteric replacement were synt...
