Item Metadata only A study on the role of TORCH infections as the co-factors in HIV vertical transmission(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Thongchai Taechowisan; Chantapong Wasi; Pilaipan Puthavathana; Ruengpung Sutthent; Suda LouisirirotchanakulPublication Metadata only Stochastic Models of Emerging Infectious Disease Transmission on Adaptive Random Networks(2017-01-01) Navavat Pipatsart; Wannapong Triampo; Charin Modchang; Mahidol University; South Carolina Commission on Higher Educationnetworks. The interplay between infectious disease dynamics and network adaptation dynamics was investigated in regard to the disease transmission and the cumulative number of infection cases. We found that the cumulative case was reduced and associated... with an increasing network adaptation probability but was increased with an increasing disease transmission probability. It was found that the topological changes of the adaptive random networks were able to reduce the cumulative number of infections and alsoItem Metadata only CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES(2024-01-01) Khatib A.N.; Matsee W.; Semenza J.C.; Khatib A.N.; Mahidol UniversityThis chapter explores the intricate relationship between climate change and infectious diseases, examining the various mechanisms through which climate change influences the distribution, prevalence, and transmission. Over half of all infectious... of healthcare systems, surveillance, and infrastructure resilience. Global warming will continue to alter the landscape of infectious diseases, with expansion of transmission seasons and geographic ranges of disease, increased risk of infectionsPublication Metadata only Network based model of infectious disease transmission in Macroalgae(2018-10-01) Navavat Pipatsart; Charin Modchang; Wannapong Triampo; Somkid Amornsamankul; South Carolina Commission on Higher Education; Mahidol University© 2018, UK Simulation Society. All rights reserved. Network based models (NBMs) are representations that reduce real world systems to abstract or graphic structures. In this work we used a NBM to investigate infectious disease spread in a macroalgae... information that at least in principle may be beneficial to algae infectious disease control, intervention or prevention.Publication Metadata only Who acquires infection from whom and how? Disentangling multi-host and multimode transmission dynamics in the ‘elimination’ era(2017-03-05) Joanne P. Webster; Anna Borlase; James W. Rudge; Royal Veterinary College University of London; London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; Mahidol University© 2017 The Authors. Multi-host infectious agents challenge our abilities to understand, predict and manage disease dynamics. Within this, many infectious agents are also able to use, simultaneously or sequentially, multiple modes of transmission... the relative importance of multi-host multi-mode infectious agent transmission dynamics under contrasting conditions, and ultimately, how this can be used to help achieve efficient and effective disease control.Item Metadata only Spatiotemporal reproduction number with Bayesian model selection for evaluation of emerging infectious disease transmissibility: an application to COVID-19 national surveillance data(2023-12-01) Rotejanaprasert C.; Lawson A.B.; Maude R.J.; Mahidol UniversityBackground: To control emerging diseases, governments often have to make decisions based on limited evidence. The effective or temporal reproductive number is used to estimate the expected number of new cases caused by an infectious person in a... of transmission with computing flexibility and practical benefits. Thus, this development can be suitable and practically useful for surveillance applications especially for newly emerging diseases. As new outbreak waves continue to develop and the risk changesPublication Metadata only Burden of Malaria during Pregnancy in Areas of Stable and Unstable Transmission in Ethiopia during a Nonepidemic Year [2] (multiple letters)(2003-10-15) François Nosten; Rose McGready; Robert D. Newman; Monica E. Parise; Richard W. Steketee; Shoklo Malaria Research Unit; Mahidol University; John Radcliffe Hospital; National Center for Infectious DiseasesItem Metadata only Social contact patterns relevant for infectious disease transmission in Cambodia(2023-12-01) Leung W.T.M.; Meeyai A.; Holt H.R.; Khieu B.; Chhay T.; Seng S.; Pok S.; Chiv P.; Drake T.; Rudge J.W.; Mahidol UniversitySocial mixing patterns are key determinants of infectious disease transmission. Mathematical models parameterised with empirical data from contact pattern surveys have played an important role in understanding epidemic dynamics and informing controlPublication Metadata only Tropical infections and the lungs(2005-12-01) Chaicharn Pothirat; Suchai Charoenratanakul; Chiang Mai University; Mahidol Universitysuch as rivers, mountain ranges and oceans can also limit the spread of some tropical infectious diseases requiring vectors or intermediate hosts for their transmission to human. In addition, human behaviour can influence the distribution of all tropical..., determines the spread of the agents and then the diseases. Rainfall, flooding and other sources of water are essential for the increasing numbers of some vectors and reservoirs and thus increasing transmission of the agents and diseases. Geographic barriersItem Metadata only Understanding the Potential Impact of Different Drug Properties on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Transmission and Disease Burden: A Modelling Analysis(2022-01-01) Whittaker C.; Mahidol Universityresearch and procurement priorities, have not been clear. Methods. Using a mathematical model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, COVID-19 disease and clinical care, we explore the public-health impact of different... of benefit (reducing disease severity or infectiousness, preventing hospitalization) could have much greater benefits, particularly in resource-poor settings facing large epidemics. Conclusions. Advances in the treatment of COVID-19 to date have been focused
