Transmission or Within-Host Dynamics Driving Pulses of Zoonotic Viruses in Reservoir-Host Populations. by Raina K Plowright, Alison J Peel, Daniel G Streicker, Amy T Gilbert, Hamish McCallum, James Wood, Michelle L Baker, Olivier Restif

“…First, pulses of viral excretion could reflect seasonal epidemic cycles driven by natural variations in population densities and contact rates among hosts. If lifelong immunity follows recovery, viruses may disappear locally but persist globally through migration; in either case, new outbreaks occur once births replenish the susceptible pool. …”

Impact of micropolar effects on nanofluid flow between two disks by S. Saranya, P. Ragupathi, Qasem M. Al-Mdallal

“…The ester-based nanofluid, selected due to its exceptional thermal characteristics and favourable environmental effects, is examined with different micropolar parameters to evaluate their impact on heat transfer rates and flow dynamics. Initially, we created a mathematical model to explain the fluid dynamics of ester-based micropolar nanofluids between two parallel disks using the Navier-Stokes equations. …”

Are the Culex pipiens biotypes pipiens, molestus and their hybrids competent vectors of avian Plasmodium? by Rafael Gutiérrez-López, Jiayue Yan, Laura Gangoso, Ramón Soriguer, Jordi Figuerola, Josué Martínez-de la Puente

“…Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on blood of wild infected birds and the presence of DNA of Plasmodium in head-thorax and saliva of mosquitoes was molecularly evaluated at 13 day-post exposure. The transmission rates (i.e., the detection of parasite DNA in mosquito saliva) for Plasmodium cathemerium were similar for the two biotypes of Cx. pipiens and their hybrids while Plasmodium relictum DNA was only found in the saliva of Cx. pipiens biotype pipiens. …”
