Hypersensitivity (allergy).
... Antigens that evoke IgE responses are collectively called allergens. The symptomatology is different depending on whether the Ag is injected, inhaled or ingested i.e. depending on the target tissue (Fig. 1) . Over 30% of individuals in the western hemisphere have the tendency to develop IgE-mediated ...

Spreading Disease with Transport

It will change the disease dynamics and break infection out even if infectious diseases will go extinct in each city without transport-related infection. In this talk, a mathematical model is proposed ...
