A biological model of scabies infection dynamics and treatment explains why mass drug administration does not lead to elimination
M. Lydeamore, P. T. Campbell, D. G. Regan +7
Despite a low global prevalence, infections with Sarcoptes scabiei, or scabies, are still common in remote communities such as in northern Australia and the Solomon Islands. Mass d…
A dynamic stress model explains the delayed drug effect in artemisinin treatment of Plasmodium falciparum
Pengxing Cao, Nectarios Klonis, Sophie Zaloumis +8
Artemisinin resistance constitutes a major threat to the continued success of control programs for malaria. With alternative antimalarial drugs not yet available, improving our und…
On the role of T cells in determining recovery time from influenza virus infection
Pengxing Cao, Zhongfang Wang, Ada W. C. Yan +5
Myriad experiments have identified an important role for T cell response mechanisms in determining recovery from influenza A virus infection. Animal models of influenza…
Periodic solutions in an SIRWS model with immune boosting and cross-immunity
Tiffany Leung, Barry D. Hughes, Federico Frascoli +1
Incidence of whooping cough, an infection caused by Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis, has been on the rise since the 1980s in many countries. Immunological interac…
Modelling cross-reactivity and memory in the cellular adaptive immune response to influenza infection in the host
Ada W. C. Yan, Pengxing Cao, Jane M. Heffernan +5
The cellular adaptive immune response plays a key role in resolving influenza infection. Experiments where individuals are successively infected with different strains within a sho…
