Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) are an important cause of morbidity and are frequently
associated with poor prognosis, particularly in high-risk patients. The cornerstones in the …

… Colijn works on mathematical modeling applied to epidemiology. She is interested in
coinfecting pathogens and the interplay between coinfection, competition between pathogen …

We collated contact tracing data from COVID-19 clusters in Singapore and Tianjin, China and
estimated the extent of pre-symptomatic transmission by estimating incubation periods and …

Periodic chronic myelogenous leukemia (PCML) is an interesting dynamical disease of the
hematopoietic system in which oscillating levels of circulating leukocytes, platelets and/or …

… Since the linear programming tool linprog in matlab minimizes c T v, the coefficients of c
were chosen to be negative so that the optimization maximizes (−c T v), namely the weighted …

Background As the COVID-19 epidemic is spreading, incoming data allows us to quantify
values of key variables that determine the transmission and the effort required to control the …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and tuberculosis
are three leading causes of death in China, where prevalences of smoking and solid-fuel …

Genomic data are increasingly being used to understand infectious disease epidemiology.
Isolates from a given outbreak are sequenced, and the patterns of shared variation are used …

The implementation of routine whole-genome sequencing (WGS) promises to transform our
ability to monitor the emergence and spread of bacterial pathogens. Here we combined …
