In order to determine the association between the number of formal urban public transport routes and the situation of tuberculosis (TB) in each district of Lima, a correlational analysis and linear regression model between the two variables was performed. Also determined were the number of public transport routes most likely to transmit TB, the areas of greatest activity of these routes and a m...

a hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is a global public health problem. in endemic areas, hbv infection occurs mainly during infancy and early childhood, with mother to child transmission (mtct) accounting for approximately half of the transmission routes of chronic hbv infections. prevention of mtct is an essential step in reducing the global burden of chronic hbv. natal transmission accounts f...

Lack of an effective small-animal model to study the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection in vivo has hampered studies on the pathogenesis and transmission of KSHV. The objective of our study was to determine whether the humanized BLT (bone marrow, liver, and thymus) mouse (hu-BLT) model generated from NOD/SCID/IL2rγ mice can be a useful model for studying KSHV infection. We...

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a highly pathogenic disease (40% case fatality rate) carried by rodents chronically infected with certain viruses within the genus Hantavirus of the family Bunyaviridae. The primary mode of transmission to humans is thought to be inhalation of excreta from infected rodents; however, ingestion of contaminated material and rodent bites are also possible mode...

We discuss the interactions between mother and infant that influence the transmission of HIV. Potential routes of infection are identified, and maternal and infant risk factors for transmission are explored. The role of the immune system in controlling HIV infection in the infant is discussed. Finally, preventive measures for reducing vertical transmission are proposed and evaluated.

A method for training data transmission routes in wireless self-organized networks is proposed. Features of construction this class are described. The main tasks functioning the control system self – organized shown. teaching methods used to predict changes analyzed. efficiency application certain fields and non-compliance with requirements being developed explained. essence forecasting direct ...
