Optimization methods for individual-based model parameter estimation in predictive microbiology
(2009)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialIn the framework of microbiology, Individual-based Models are discrete models in which the main entities are microbes. Their use in simulations as ‘virtual experiments’ to predict the evolution of populations under ... -
Origin of tuberculosis in the Paleolithic predicts unprecedented population growth and female resistance
(Nature, 2020-01-08)
Article
Accés obertCurrent data estimate the origin of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MtbC) infection around 73,000 years before the common era (BCE), and its evolution to “modern” lineages around 46,000 BCE. Being MtbC a major killer ... -
Predictive performance of multi-model ensemble forecasts of COVID-19 across European nations
(2023-04-21)
Article
Accés obertBackground: Short-term forecasts of infectious disease burden can contribute to situational awareness and aid capacity planning. Based on best practice in other fields and recent insights in infectious disease epidemiology, ... -
Risk diagrams based on primary care electronic medical records and linked real-time PCR data to monitor local covid-19 outbreaks during the summer 2020: a prospective study including 7,671,862 people in Catalonia
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-07-05)
Article
Accés obertMonitoring transmission is a prerequisite for containing COVID-19. We report on effective potential growth (EPG) as a novel measure for the early identification of local outbreaks based on primary care electronic medical ... -
Robust estimation of diagnostic rate and real incidence of COVID-19 for European policymakers
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2020-04-24)
Article
Accés obertPolicymakers need a clear and fast assessment of the real spread of the epidemic of COVID-19 in each of their respective countries. Standard measures of the situation provided by the governments include reported positive ... -
SARS-CoV-2 transmission in teenagers and young adults in Fútbol Club Barcelona’s Multidisciplinary Sports Training Academy
(Springer, 2023-03)
Article
Accés obertMost studies, aimed at determining the incidence and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in children and teenagers, have been developed in school settings. Our study conducted surveillance and inferred attack rates focusing on the ... -
Schools as a Framework for COVID-19 Epidemiological Surveillance of Children in Catalonia, Spain: A Population-Based Study
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-09-08)
Article
Accés obertObjective: We describe and analyze the childhood (<18 years) COVID-19 incidence in Catalonia, Spain, during the first 36 weeks of the 2020-2021 school-year and to compare it with the incidence in adults. Methods: Data ... -
Sensitivity analysis and individual-based models in the study of yeast populations
(2011)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialIndividual-based models (IBMs), the biological agent-based models, are currently being applied to the study of microbial systems. A microbial IBM of yeast populations growing in liquid bath cultures has already been designed ... -
Surveillance of daughter micronodule formation is a key factor for vaccine evaluation using experimental infection models of tuberculosis in Macaques
(2023-02-02)
Article
Accés obertTuberculosis (TB) is still a major worldwide health problem and models using non-human primates (NHP) provide the most relevant approach for vaccine testing. In this study, we analysed CT images collected from cynomolgus ... -
Symptom-based predictive model of COVID-19 disease in children
(2021-12-30)
Article
Accés obertTesting for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is neither always accessible nor easy to perform in children. We aimed to propose a machine learning model to assess the need for a SARS-CoV-2 ... -

The impact of COVID-19 certification mandates on the number of cases of and hospitalizations with COVID-19 in the UK: A difference-in-differences analysis
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-02-24)
Article
Accés obertBackground: Mandatory COVID-19 certification, showing proof of vaccination, negative test, or recent infection to access to public venues, was introduced at different times in the four countries of the UK. We aim to study ... -
The impact of prioritisation and dosing intervals on the effects of COVID-19 vaccination in Europe: an agent-based cohort model
(Nature, 2021-09-22)
Article
Accés obertDifferent strategies have been used to maximise the effect of COVID-19 vaccination campaigns in Europe. We modelled the impact of different prioritisation choices and dose intervals on infections, hospitalisations, mortality, ... -
The malaria system microApp: A new, mobile device-based tool for malaria diagnosis
(2017-04-25)
Article
Accés obertBackground: Malaria is a public health problem that affects remote areas worldwide. Climate change has contributed to the problem by allowing for the survival of Anopheles in previously uninhabited areas. As such, several ... -

The origin and maintenance of tuberculosis is explained by the induction of smear-negative disease in the paleolithic
(2022-03-17)
Article
Accés obertIs it possible that the origin of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection was around 70,000 years before the common era? At that time Homo sapiens was just another primate species with discrete growth and a very low-density ... -
The role of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing post-COVID-19 thromboembolic and cardiovascular complications
(2024-03-12)
Article
Accés obertObjective To study the association between COVID-19 vaccination and the risk of post-COVID-19 cardiac and thromboembolic complications. Methods We conducted a staggered cohort study based on national vaccination campaigns ... -
The small breathing amplitude at the upper lobes favors the attraction of polymorphonuclear neutrophils to mycobacterium tuberculosis lesions and helps to understand the evolution toward active disease in an individual-based model
(2016-03-29)
Article
Accés obertInfection with Mycobacteriumtuberculosis(Mtb) can induce two kindsofl esions,namely proliferative and exudative. The former are based on the presence of macrophages with controlled induction ofi ntragranulomatousnecrosis, ...
