Modelling disease outbreaks in realistic urban social networks

Article Abstract:

The use of dynamic bipartite graphs to model the physical contact pattern that result from movements of individuals between specific locations is explored. The results show that the contact network among people is a strongly connected small world like graph with a well-defined scale for the degree distribution.

Transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis by sand flies is enhanced by regurgitation of fPPG

Article Abstract:

The mechanism of transmission of the parasite Leishmaniasis by sand flies is investigated. The contribution of filamentors (fPPG) in the mechanism of parasite delivery is experimented.
