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.
Manual Curation. The Pathogen-Host Interactions database ( PHI-base) [1] is a biological database that contains manually curated information on genes experimentally proven to affect the outcome of pathogen-host interactions. The database has been maintained by researchers at Rothamsted Research and external collaborators since 2005.
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 AMRFinderPlus tool from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is a bioinformatic tool that allows users to identify antimicrobial resistance determinants, stress response, and virulence genes in bacterial genomes. [2] This tool's development began in 2018 (as AMRFinder) and is still underway.
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.
iBioSim [5] [6] is a computer-aided design (CAD) tool for the modeling, analysis, and design of genetic circuits. GUI/Scripting tool [7] for building and simulating multicellular models. Yes, but only for reactions. GUI tool [8] [9] for analyzing and simulating SBML models.
PLOS Pathogens is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal. All content in PLOS Pathogens is published under the Creative Commons "by-attribution" license. PLOS Pathogens began operation in September 2005. It was the fifth journal of the Public Library of Science (PLOS), a non-profit open-access publisher.
Definition and related terms. An infectious disease agent can be transmitted in two ways: as horizontal disease agent transmission from one individual to another in the same generation (peers in the same age group) by either direct contact (licking, touching, biting), or indirect contact through air – cough or sneeze (vectors or fomites that allow the transmission of the agent causing the ...
