This study uses mathematical models to show BCG vaccination reduces Mtb dissemination between murine lungs by 89% while modestly reducing replication.

This study shows that criteria for defining motile Plasmodium sporozoites affect inferred movement patterns, with different thresholds altering speed, displacement, and movement state classifications.

The paper challenges the assumption that Mtb DNA decay rates reflect bacterial death rates, showing that Mtb replication and death rates are still significant even with slow DNA decay.

The paper introduces a method using Imaris to track PET-defined lung inflammation sites in Mtb-exposed NHPs, showing correlation with traditional methods and providing additional lesion features.

This study evaluates the CFU-16S rRNA gap in tuberculosis treatment models, finding that the discrepancy is partially due to residual 16S rRNA from dead bacteria and potential transient viable but non-culturable populations.

The paper shows that random search by CD8 T cells for Plasmodium parasites is efficient in liver sinusoids, challenging the need for attraction-based search.

The paper investigates apparent cooperativity between human CMV virions and shows it affects multiplicity of infection calculations.

The paper uses mathematical modeling to show that Mycobacterium tuberculosis replication in rabbit lungs is heterogeneous, with subpopulations exhibiting different growth kinetics.

This paper uses a mathematical model to show that optimal antibiotic treatment duration depends on factors like treatment timing, antibiotic efficacy, and infection dynamics, with short or long treatments potentially being beneficial under different conditions.
