Equation (2) is called a Fox surplus production model that has been used to build up certain prediction models such as microbial growth model, demographic model and fisheries model.
Pinto's research focuses on microbial, environmental, genetic and demographic factors that underlie susceptibility to nasal diseases.
A better understanding of the demographic and microbial characteristics of EPTB in the Turkish population would extend the knowledgebase of EPTB and allow us to develop better strategies to control tuberculosis (TB).
The present study was conducted to gain insight into the demographic and microbial characteristics of EPTB cases in Malatya, Turkey, thereby to extend the knowledgebase of EPTB based on which better TB control strategies can be developed.
* Adjusted for all variables To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of EPTB in Turkey, we analyzed demographic, clinical and microbial characteristics of 397 TB patients diagnosed in Malatya, Turkey between January 1st, 2001 and December 31st , 2007
Four categories of predictors [dampness, pets, cleaning, and demographics (SES and sex)] were consistently associated with the home microbial environment.
Could the usual methane-eating suspects handle the surge, or did new players rise to the challenge, marking a shift in the demographics of the microbial community?
Temperate phage mediated killing will create the greatest demographic disruption to overall microbial growth when phage carriers are scarce and susceptibles are common (Brown et al. 2006).
Our analysis of case demographics, disease characteristics and microbial genetics sheds some light on the likely factors that contribute to the Kikori TB incidence.
In fact, gonorrhea has proven difficult to control and remains a prime example of the influence that social, behavioral, and demographic factors, as well as microbial factors, can have on the epidemiology of an infectious disease.
