Publication Open Access Assessing the role of undetected colonization and isolation precautions in reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus transmission in intensive care units(2010-02) Kypraios, Theodore; O'Neill, Philip D.; Huang, Susan S.; Rifas-Shiman, Sheryl L.; Cooper, Ben S; Kypraios, Theodore; Mahidol University. Faculty of Tropical Medicinepatient days. Estimating these MRSA-positive patient days and the reduction in transmission due to isolation presents a major methodological challenge, but is essential for assessing both the value of existing control policies and the potential benefit... single-bed adult intensive care units (ICUs) over 17 months. Detected MRSA-positive patients were isolated using single rooms and barrier precautions. Data were analyzed using stochastic transmission models and model fitting was performed within aPublication Open Access Climate induces seasonality in pneumococcal transmission.(2015-06) Numminen, Elina; Chewapreecha, Claire; Turner, Claudia; Goldblatt, David; Nosten, Francois; Bentley, Stephen D.; Turner, Paul; Corander, Jukka; Numminen, Elina; Mahidol University.

Therefore, comprehension on mechanisms of disease transmission within animal and human populations and among these populations is vitally important. Mathematical models have been... developed to simulate how infectious diseases occur and spread as well as effectiveness of related control measures. Compartmental model is one of the most common infectious disease models, for example, SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) modelPublication Open Access The impact of human reservoir of malaria at a community-level on individual malaria occurrence in a low malaria transmission setting along the Thai-Myanmar border(2010-05) Saranath Lawpoolsri; สารนาถ ล้อพูลศรี; Chavez, Irwin F.; Surapon Yimsamran; สุรพล ยิ้มสำราญ; Supalap Puangsa-art; สุภลาภ พวงสอาด; Nipon Thanyavanich; นิพนธ์ ธัญญวานิช; Wanchai Maneeboonyang; Wuthichai Chaimungkun; Pratap Singhasivanon; ประตาป สิงหศิวานนท์; Maguire, James H.; Hungerford, Laura L.; Saranath Lawpoolsri; Mahidol University.

Department of Tropical Hygienepersons in a previous month resulted in 1.14 and 1.34 times increase in the risk of P. falciparum and P. vivax, respectively, among individuals in a particular hamlet. CONCLUSION: In a small area with low malaria transmission intensity, the variation... in mosquito abundance is relatively similar across the residential areas; incidence of malaria between hamlets, which reflects the community level of human infectious reservoirs, is an important predictor for the malaria risk among individuals withinPublication Open Access Does Thailand Need Its Own Mathematical Model of the Influenza A (H1N1-2009) Pandemic and the Following Seasonal Influenza?(2011) Aronrag Cooper Meeyai; อรุณรักษ์ คูเปอร์ มีใย; Aronrag Cooper Meeyai; Mahidol university. Faculty of Public Health. Department of Epidemiologyhave taken into account the pattern of seasonality of influenza transmission in the tropics. Because of these and other factors, there is a need to evaluate influenza vaccination strategies in light of the unique conditions faced in ThailandPublication Open Access Chikungunya virus infection of cell lines: Analysis of the East, Central and South African lineage(2012) Nitwara Wikan; Prirayapak Sakoonwatanyoo; Sukathida Ubol; Sutee Yoksan; Duncan R.

Department of Microbiologyof the disease has been driven by the emergence of an African lineage of CHIKV with enhanced transmission and dissemination in Aedes mosquito hosts. Two main genotypes of this lineage have been circulating, characterized by the presence of a substitution of a...Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito borne alphavirus that has caused large scale epidemics in the countries around the Indian Ocean, as well as leading to autochthonous transmission in some European countries.

The cases of hepatitis A in the national disease surveillancefrom 2005 to 2014 were used to estimate the R by a likelihood-based estimationprocedure and characterise the epidemic. The results showed that R... of hepatitis A in Thailand are varied by provinces. An overall average R was 1.19 (95%CI=1.10-1.28). In endemic areas (low effective transmission), the R was 0.95 (95%CI=0.94-0.97). While in outbreak areas (high effective transmission), the R was 1Publication Open Access Duration of shedding of respiratory syncytial virus in a community study of Kenyan children(2010-01-22) Okiro, Emelda A.; White, Lisa J.; Ngama, Mwanajuma; Cane, Patricia A.; Medley, Graham F.; Nokes, D James; Okiro, Emelda A.; Mahidol University.
