With the increasing awareness that the aforementioned infectious diseases impose an enormous burden on developing countries, public health programs therein could benefit from parsimonious general-purpose forecasting methods to enhance infectious disease intervention.
Hence, empirically determining network topology is a key component of efforts aimed at enhancing infectious disease control strategies.
The rapamycin induced enhanced infectious particle production was dependent on autophagic membrane formation, because Atg12 silencing abolished the rapamycin induced increase in infectious EBV particle production (Fig. 2G).
The development and application of internet-based infectious disease surveillance systems has the potential to enhance infectious disease control and prevention.
In 2005, based on previous works, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) established the Enhanced Infectious Diseases and Vectors Surveillance Systems with the target of 25 diseases and 4 important vectors, and set up hundreds of surveillance sites throughout the country [ 9].
These factors are likely to enhance infectious disease susceptibility, exemplified by a higher incidence of infection to a broad spectrum of pathogens, such as influenza virus and S. pneumoniae (6, 8, 19), by the reactivation of tuberculosis (23, 38), and a decrease in vaccine efficacy (39).
Some duplicated genes associated with the cytotoxic pathway have experienced positive selection, implying that this adaptive evolution might enhance the infectious ability of N. bombycis, as well as the expansion of its host range.
(The New York Times called it "a witty and tuneful morsel considerably enhanced by the infectious enthusiasm of the cast").
Consequently, alveolar macrophage function and cytokine production is impaired, which may enhance susceptibility to infectious diseases (6 ).
MHC-disassortative mating preferences may function to increase offspring heterozygosity - MHC or genome-wide - as both can enhance resistance to infectious diseases [ 8- 12].
