Given Z and S, the cure model is reduced to a bivariate threshold model, where the first trait (susceptibility status, Z) is whether the animal is susceptible to the disease, and the second trait consists of endurance scores (S), which are only observable for putatively susceptible animals (Z i = 1).
To assess the non-randomness of the strains clustering according to susceptibility status, we computed the ratio of the mean of the distances among susceptible strains to the mean of the distances between all susceptible and resistant strains.
We were therefore able to track smoking and susceptibility status over time in 2270 respondents who, at baseline, comprised 1576 non-susceptible never smokers, 494 susceptible never smokers and 200 ever smokers.
To determine the susceptibility status of Anopheles maculipennis (An. maculipennis) against the major insecticides used in the health sectors in West Azarbaijan Province, Northwestern Iran.
Here we report the susceptibility status of the An.
We therefore undertook a study on the insecticide susceptibility status of An. funestus from Tororo district in Eastern Uganda.
For these reason few studies have been carried out on the insecticide susceptibility status of field populations of this important malaria vector in Africa.
Therefore, a permanent monitoring of the DDT susceptibility status of An. funestus populations in Mozambique is crucial to ensure a successful control of this species.
funestus population from Chokwe district in Mozambique in order to analyse its susceptibility status to insecticides and to broadly characterise the main operating resistance mechanisms.
Information on the susceptibility status of populations of this major malaria vector is crucial to successfully implement and manage present and future vector control programs.
The review of the literature on pandemic information management practices showed that major present obstacles were a shortage of reliable data on populations' disease and susceptibility status and a lack of validated outbreak detection and forecasting methods (Text S2).
