We present a method for estimating transmission matrices that describe the mixing and the probability of infection between age groups. Transmission matrices can be used to estimate age-dependent forces of infection in age-structured, compartmental models for the study of infectious diseases. We have analyzed the social network generated by bipartite graphs for the synthetic city of Portland and...

the length- length (llrs), length-weight (lwr) relationships and relative condition factor (kn) of 505 specimens of pike, (esox lucius linnaeus, 1798) from anzali wetland, southwest of the caspian sea, were studied from april 2012 through march 2013. the length-length relationships among total length (tl), fork length (fl) and standard length (sl) for pike were found to be highly significant (r...

Stercoral colitis is a rare in lammatory colitis which results from fecal impaction. Fecal impaction may be present for months-to-years prior to causing acute complications. Most cases of stercoral colitis are reported in the surgical literature with late complications of bowel perforation requiring surgery, and many cases are detected only at the time of autopsy. The incidence of stercoral col...

The vast majority of the world's population is infected with HSV. Although antiviral therapy can reduce the incidence of reactivation and asymptomatic viral shedding, and limit morbidity and mortality from active disease, it cannot cure infection. Therefore, the development of an effective vaccine is an important global health priority. In this study, we demonstrate that recombinant Listeria mo...
