Since the epidemic of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), many governments have used reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the virus. However, there are fewer measures of CT values …
In order to reduce individual variations and estimate the positive duration (Ct value < 30), B-spline basis functions (using the 4th-degree basis function) were selected to model the change of Ct value after infected (Table S1, Supplementary …
**Backqround**: There is a raising concern of a higher infectious Omicron BA.2 variant and the latest BA.4, BA.5 variantmade it more dificult in the mitigation process against COVID-19 pandemic. Our study aimed to find optimal controlstrategies by …
The results showed the mean value of median Rt value for MPX of 1.36 (SD: 0.21) and the median R0 value of 1.63 (IQR: 1.34–1.72) where the R0 values we calculated were higher than the estimates listed on the WHO official website.
Tsutsugamushi disease (TD) is an acute infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological features of TD, investigate chigger mites and their hosts, and investigate the meteorological factors …
Mathematical models have played an important role in the management of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of this review is to describe the use of COVID-19 mathematical models, their classification, and the advantages and …
Objectives This study aims to explore the interaction of different pathogens in Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) by using a mathematical epidemiological model and the reported data in five regions of China. Methods A cross-regional dataset of …
This study elaborated the natural history parameters of Delta variant, explored the differences in detection cycle thresholds (Ct) among cases. Natural history parameters were calculated based on the different onset time and exposure time of the …
