A preliminary study of the transmission dynamics of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the causative agent of AIDS.
, IMA J Math Appl Med Biol, Vol: 3, Pages: 229-263, ISSN: 0265-0746The paper describes some preliminary attempts to formulate simple mathematical models of the transmission dynamics of HIV infection in homosexual communities. In conjunction with a survey of the available epidemiological data on HIV infection and the incidence of AIDS, the models are used to assess how various processes influence the course of the initial epidemic following the introduction of the virus. Models of the early stages of viral spread provide crude methods for estimating the basic reproductive rate of the virus, given a knowledge of the incubation period of the disease (AIDS) and the initial doubling time of the epidemic. More complex models are formulated to assess the influence of variation in the incubation period and heterogeneity in sexual activity. The latter factor is shown to have a major effect on the predicted pattern of the epidemic; high levels of heterogeneity decrease its magnitude. Areas of biological uncertainty, future research needs, and public health implications are discussed.

The persistence of infectious diseases within wildlife populations: rabies and bovine tuberculosis.
, Pests and parasites as migrants, Pages: 164-167The principal features of the transmission dynamics of rabies in red fox Vulpes vulpes populations and bovine tuberculosis in badger Meles meles populations are examined and compared. Emphasis is placed on the stability of the association between host and pathogen populations and the likely impact on disease prevalence of reductions in reservoir host density. -from Author

Experimental and natural infection of Simulium sanchezi by Mansonella ozzardi in the Middle Orinoco region of Venezuela.
, Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg, Vol: 79, Pages: 29-33, ISSN: 0035-9203Experimental and natural infections of Simulium sanchezi by Mansonella ozzardi were studied in the area of Síquita, Territorio Federal Amazonas, Venezuela. The microfilariae developed synchronously in the blackflies, reaching stage L3 in seven to eight days at temperatures between 23 degrees and 27 degrees C. Larvae in different stages of development, including infective forms, were found in 0.6% of 662 unfed wild-caught females. These results confirm that simuliids are the main vectors of M. ozzardi in the American continent.
