DOI: 10.1007/s10955-018-2050-9
Abstract: We study the dynamics of secondary infections on networks, in which only the individuals currently carrying a certain primary infection are susceptible to the secondary infection. In the limit of large sparse networks, the model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2020.02.018
Abstract: Cytomegalovirus is the most common congenital infection, affecting 0.5-2% of all live births and the main non-genetic cause of congenital sensorineural hearing loss and neurological damage. Congenital CMV can follow maternal primary infection or non-primary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/23744235.2017.1279344
Abstract: Abstract Background: Both primary and non-primary maternal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy can lead to vertical transmission. We evaluated the proportion of maternal primary/non-primary infections among 26 babies with symptomatic congenital CMV infection born in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/vim.2019.0086
Abstract: Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpes virus that mainly infects in B lymphocytes and occasionally reactivates lytically. Most individuals have been infected with EBV primarily in their childhood with no symptoms, and the virus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cid/cix622
Abstract: Background Primary human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection during pregnancy is the major cause of congenital viral sequelae. The HCMV-specific T-cell response may have a role in the prevention of virus transmission to the fetus. Methods HCMV-specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jtm/taac109
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The future of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hinges on virus evolution and duration of immune protection of natural infection against reinfection. We investigated duration of protection afforded by natural infection, the effect of viral immune… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.03.24.22272898
Abstract: A vaccine to prevent congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) is a public health priority. cCMV results from maternal primary or non-primary CMV infection (reinfection or reactivation of chronic infection) during pregnancy. Young children are a major… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eci.13845
Abstract: A precise estimate of the frequency and severity of SARS‐CoV‐2 reinfections would be critical to optimize restriction and vaccination policies for the hundreds of millions previously infected subjects. We performed a meta‐analysis to evaluate the… read more here.
