Effect of Interleukin and Hepcidin in Anemia of Chronic Diseases by Maha F. Yacoub, Hala Fouad Ferwiz, Fadwa Said

“…Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) also termed as the anemia of inflammation has been found to be associated with inflammations, chronic infections, and cancers, particularly in old age. Recent studies revealed that interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, and hepcidin, an antimicrobial hepatic peptide, play a key role in ACD pathogenesis. …”

A mathematical model for the spread of west nile virus in migratory and resident birds by Louis D. Bergsman, James M. Hyman, Carrie A. Manore

“…We develop a mathematical model for transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) that incorporates resident and migratory host avian populations and a mosquito vector population.We provide a detailed analysis of the model's basic reproductive number and demonstrate how theexposed infected, but not infectious, state for the bird population can be approximated by a reduced model.We use the model to investigate the interplay of WNV in both resident and migratory bird hosts. …”
