A process-based model to simulate sugarcane orange rust severity from weather data in Southern Brazil
(2021-01-01)
Forecasting the severity of plant diseases is an emerging need for farmers and companies to optimize management actions and to predict crop yields. Process-based models are viable tools for this purpose, thanks to their ...
Neurotoxins as Preclinical Models for Parkinson’s Disease
(Springer New York LLC, 2018)
© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Translational medicine is one of the major concerns in this century. While significant advances have been made with scientific knowledge, the translation ...
A three-dimensional multi-agent-based model for the evolution of Chagas’ disease
(2010)
A better understanding of Chagas’ disease is important because the knowledge about the progression and the participation of the different types of cells in this disease are still lacking. To clarify this system, the kinetics ...
Carrion's disease: More than a neglected disease
(BioMed Central, 2019)
Infections with Bartonella bacilliformis result in Carrion's disease in humans. In the first phase of infection, the pathogen causes a hemolytic fever ("Oroya fever") with case-fatality rates as high as ~90% in untreated ...
Modelling fungus dispersal scenarios using cellular automata
(2013-03-01)
This study focused on representing spatio-temporal patterns of fungal dispersal using cellular automata. Square lattices were used, with each site representing a host for a hypothetical fungus population. Four possible ...
Increased natural killer activity does not prevent progression of experimental kala-azar
(1999-12-01)
Kala-azar is the visceral form of leishmaniasis and it is caused by intracellular parasites from the complex Leishmania donovani. Golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) infected with Leishmania donovani develop a disease ...
Dengue model with early-life stage of vectors and age-structure within host
(Centro de Investigaciones en Matemática Pura y Aplicada (CIMPA) y Escuela de Matemática, San José, Costa Rica., 2020)
A model for intra-familial distribution of an infectious disease (Chagas' disease)
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz., 1993)
Drosophila melanogaster: A Powerful Tiny Animal Model for the Study of Metabolic Hepatic Diseases
(2021-09-16)
Animal experimentation is limited by unethical procedures, time-consuming protocols, and high cost. Thus, the development of innovative approaches for disease treatment based on alternative models in a fast, safe, and ...
