    The influence of individual, social group and household factors on the distribution of Ascaris lumbricoides within a community and implications for control strategies.

    , Parasitology, Vol: 98 ( Pt 1), Pages: 125-134, ISSN: 0031-1820

    The distribution of Ascaris lumbricoides within a community was examined at an initial mass anthelmintic treatment programme (January 1984) and following an 11-month period of reinfection (November 1984). Similar patterns of the negative binomial parameter kappa (an inverse measure of parasite aggregation) and the proportion of parasites within the most heavily infected quartile of the community were recorded at the two dates. The pattern of parasite aggregation within individuals, measured by parameter k, appears to be a stable characteristic of this host-parasite relationship. Significant variation in the intensity of infection was observed between households in the community. The number of family members living in the house strongly influenced the mean Ascaris burden and proportion of relatively heavy infections within adults and children. This finding suggests that the density of people in a house positively influences the frequency of exposure to infective stages of Ascaris, which in turn plays a major role in determining which individuals will harbour heavy infections. Positive correlations were recorded between the initial and reinfection burdens of individuals, relative to others in the community. The correlations were strongest in the youngest and oldest age groups and were more frequently significant among age-stratified groups of females, compared to males. A comparative examination of hypothetical treatment strategies suggests that for Ascaris infections in this community, targetting age groups with anthelmintic treatment would probably be more cost-effective in the long term in reducing the abundance of this parasite than selective treatment of individually identified heavy infections.

    Predator-prey and host-pathogen interactions

    , Ecological concepts, Pages: 147-196

    Outlines some general mathematical models for the dynamics of predator-prey and host-pathogen systems, these facilitating the identification of the major processes that determine the dynamics of interacting populations. These models are then used to examine the dynamics of mixed species interactions involving different types of predators and pathogens acting together. -from Authors

    Epidemiological and statistical aspects of the AIDS epidemic

    , Philosophical Transactions - Royal Society of London, B, Vol: 325, Pages: 37-187

    In 1988, a government working party studied estimates of incidence and prevalence of numbers of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases. They investigated a series of epidemiological, statistical and mathematical problems associated with predicting trends in incidences of AIDS. This series of papers gives a fuller and more technical exposition of the appendixes of that working party report. They provide a brief background to the current state of knowledge on the epidemiology of the infection and the disease; a deterministic model for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission in the male homosexual community in England and Wales is introduced. There is a comparative analysis of the AIDS epidemic in various European countries. The incubation period of HIV in patients with haemophilia A and B infections and the problems associated with making predictions for different at-risk groups or small sub-groups based on geographical area are discussed. Reasons for fluctuation between the number of reported cases from month to month are provided. -from Editors
