Pathogenomics is a field which uses high-throughput screening technology and bioinformatics to study encoded microbe resistance, as well as virulence factors (VFs), which enable a microorganism to infect a host and possibly cause disease.
A biosafety level ( BSL ), or pathogen/protection level, is a set of biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed laboratory facility. The levels of containment range from the lowest biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) to the highest at level 4 (BSL-4). In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and ...
The eradication of infectious diseases is the reduction of the prevalence of an infectious disease in the global host population to zero. [1] Two infectious diseases have successfully been eradicated: smallpox in humans, and rinderpest in ruminants. There are four ongoing programs, targeting the human diseases poliomyelitis (polio), yaws ...
Quantitative microbiological risk assessment [1] (QMRA) is the process of estimating the risk from exposure to microorganisms . The process involves measuring known microbial pathogens or indicators and running a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the risk of transfer. [1] If a dose-response model is available for the microbe, it be used to ...
Infectious disease dynamics. Mathematical models need to integrate the increasing volume of data being generated on host - pathogen interactions. Many theoretical studies of the population dynamics, structure and evolution of infectious diseases of plants and animals, including humans, are concerned with this problem.
COVID-19 simulation models are mathematical infectious disease models for the spread of COVID-19. [1] The list should not be confused with COVID-19 apps used mainly for digital contact tracing . Note that some of the applications listed are website-only models or simulators, and some of those rely on (or use) real-time data from other sources.
The Sehat Sahulat Program is a flagship social health insurance initiative launched by the Government of Pakistan in 2015 with the name of 'Pakistan Sehat Card' [1] [2] [3] to provide free healthcare services to the underprivileged population of the country then carried on by PTI government in 2019, under name of Sehat Sahulat Card later known ...
The People's Primary Healthcare Initiative KP (PPHI), also known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Programme, [1] is a programme with the objective of developing primary level healthcare facilities to benefit patients at grassroots level, [2] in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Pakistan.
