Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)

The model allows the transition probabilities of the hidden states as well as the detectability parameter of the test to depend [...] Markov process, where the observed process is the detection or failure to detect a parasitic genotype. This is assumed to be conditionally independent given the hidden process, that is, the underlying true presence [...] hierarchical model is proposed for estimating parasitic...

The cooperation with the private sector in the country was also excellent, and allowed us to mobilise the financial [...] problems: the USA, which was heavily involved in West Africa during the Ebola epidemic, has disappeared from the scene in the region. International cooperation has really collapsed. Therefore, it is all the [...] tested the suspected case for the virus: fortunately, it was negative....
The extended AT-hook is a novel RNA binding motif (Publications)
describe the discovery and characterization of the extended AT-hook peptide motif (eAT-hook), in which basic amino acids appear symmetrical mainly at a distance of 12-15 amino acids from the G-R-P core [...] motif, and show that eAT-hooks bind RNA with one order of magnitude higher affinity than DNA. In addition, cellular localization studies suggest a role for the N-terminal eAT-hook of PTOV1 in nucleocytoplasmic [...] The AT-hook has been defined as a DNA binding peptide motif that contains a...

Research on subgroups is not research on equity attributes: evidence from an overview of systematic reviews on vaccination (Publications)
a subgroup is abundant, it fails to report on the interventions that will actually reduce inequities and consider how redistribution of health care resources could shrink the gap between the privileged [...] BACKGROUND: Equity remains a priority in the international health development agenda. However, major inequities in vaccination coverage jeopardise the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. We aim [...] explored the effects of interventions to improve vaccination in any context; f...
