DOI: 10.1109/tnse.2018.2873609
Abstract: Understanding how infectious diseases spatially diffuse is critical to predict and control the epidemic prevalence. However, uncovering epidemic spatial invasion is challenging due to stochastic travel of hosts and insufficient data availability. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1007436
Abstract: Invasion of human erythrocytes is essential for Plasmodium falciparum parasite survival and pathogenesis, and is also a complex phenotype. While some later steps in invasion appear to be invariant and essential, the earlier steps of… read more here.
