New Data concerning the Epidemiology of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Greece by Konstantinos D. Pantazis, Ioannis S. Elefsiniotis, Hero Brokalaki

“…Nevertheless, there are special groups and populations (economical refugees, religious minorities, HIV-positive patients, abroad pregnant women, prostitutes, etc.) who represent sacs of high HBV endemicity and need epidemiological supervision and intervention, in order to limit the spread of the infection and to further improve the existing epidemiological data.…”

The Clinical Risks of Infection Associated with Endoscopy by Alistair E Cowen

“…Inadequate reprocessing of endoscopes may result in patient to patient transmission of serious bacterial and viral diseases or infection with endemic hospital pathogens. Antibiotic prophylaxis is required to prevent septicemia and bacterial endocarditis in high risk patients undergoing specific endoscopic procedures. …”

Ecoepidemiological Model and Analysis of MSV Disease Transmission Dynamics in Maize Plant by Haileyesus Tessema Alemneh, Oluwole Daniel Makinde, David Mwangi Theuri

“…The conditions for local and global asymptotic stability of MSV free and endemic equilibria are established. The model exhibits forward bifurcation and the sensitivity indices of various embedded parameters with respect to the MSV eradication or spreading are determined. …”

The Behavior of an SVIR Epidemic Model with Stochastic Perturbation by Yanan Zhao, Daqing Jiang

“…When R0>1, we derive that the disease will prevail, which is measured through the difference between the solution and the endemic equilibrium of the deterministic model in time average. …”

Stochastic Dynamics of an SIRS Epidemic Model with Ratio-Dependent Incidence Rate by Yongli Cai, Xixi Wang, Weiming Wang, Min Zhao

“…We first deal with the boundedness, dissipation, persistence, and the stability of the disease-free and endemic points of the deterministic model. And then we prove the existence and uniqueness of the global positive solutions, stochastic boundedness, and permanence for the stochastic epidemic model. …”

Global stability of a multiple delayed viral infection model with general incidence rate and an application to HIV infection by Yu Ji

“…By using the Lyapunov functional and LaSalle invariance principle, the global stabilities of the infection-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are obtained. We obtain a threshold of the global stability for the uninfected equilibrium, which means the disease will be under control eventually. …”

Global Dynamics of an Epidemic Model with a Ratio-Dependent Nonlinear Incidence Rate by Sanling Yuan, Bo Li

“…By carrying out a global analysis of the model and studying the stabilities of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium, it is shown that either the number of infective individuals tends to zero as time evolves or the disease persists. …”
