C. difficile (C. diff) is one of the most common and contagious hospital-acquired infections. Research has found that C. diff spreads more than three times more than previously thought. C. diff can ...

With a background in biomedical informatics, Neal Goldstein focuses on computational approaches in complex data settings to understand infectious disease transmission among vulnerable populations ...

Infectious diseases are disorders that are caused by organisms ... With other agents, infection can be transmitted through the air. The route of transmission of infectious agents is clearly an ...

Waterborne transmission is part of a cultural vector ... But in terms of human diseases, generally it's in our interest to have the disease organisms be as mild as possible. What we can do depends ...

Public health strategies, from vaccination to improving sanitary conditions, may have different impacts depending on whether ...

Infectious disease modelling uses numerical mathematical formulas and describes the process of infectious disease transmission, incubation period from the time of infection to illness onset, and how ...

Low vaccination rates for influenza viruses and the lack of an HSV vaccine underscore the need for a new approach to reduce ...

In contrast, transmission of sexually transmitted pathogens (assuming rates of sexual contact don't necessarily increase with host density) and some vector-borne diseases is thought to be ...

underscores the importance of computational modeling in infectious disease research, combining virology and simulations to assess potential viral transmission risks. The study addresses a critical ...

A new study published in the journal Engineering has analyzed the correlation between different indoor transmission-risk ...
