Journal ArticleDOI
The intrinsic transmission dynamics of tuberculosis epidemics.
Sally Blower,Angela R. McLean,Travis C. Porco,Peter M. Small,Philip C. Hopewell,Melissa Sanchez,Andrew R. Moss +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it takes one to several hundred years for a tuberculosis epidemic to rise, fall and reach a stable endemic level and suggested that some of the decline of tuberculosis is simply due to the natural behaviour of an epidemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
The continuing HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men
Joseph A. Catania,Dennis Osmond,Ron Stall,Lance M. Pollack,Jay P. Paul,Sally Blower,Diane Binson,Jesse Canchola,Thomas C. Mills,Lawrence Fisher,Kyung-Hee Choi,Travis C. Porco,Charles F. Turner,Johnny Blair,Jeffrey Henne,Larry L. Bye,Thomas J. Coates +16 more
TL;DR: Although the findings suggest that HIV prevalence has declined significantly from the mid-1980s, current levels among urban MSM in the United States approximate those of sub-Saharan countries and are extremely high in many population subsegments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline in HIV infectivity following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy.
Travis C. Porco,Jeffrey N. Martin,Kimberly Page-Shafer,Amber Cheng,Edwin D. Charlebois,Robert M. Grant,Dennis Osmond +6 more
TL;DR: Use of HAART by infected persons in a community appears to reduce their infectiousness and therefore may provide an important HIV prevention tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention and Control of Zika as a Mosquito-Borne and Sexually Transmitted Disease: A Mathematical Modeling Analysis.
TL;DR: A mathematical model is introduced to investigate the impact of mosquito-borne and sexual transmission on the spread and control of ZikV and calibrate the model to ZIKV epidemic data from Brazil, Colombia, and El Salvador.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Study of Cone Photoreceptors during Retinal Degeneration and in Response to Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Treatment
Katherine E. Talcott,Kavitha Ratnam,S. Sundquist,Anna S. Lucero,Brandon J. Lujan,Weng Tao,Travis C. Porco,Austin Roorda,Jacque L. Duncan +8 more
TL;DR: AOSLO images provided a sensitive measure of disease progression and treatment response in patients with inherited retinal degenerations, and larger studies of cone structure using high-resolution imaging techniques are urgently needed to evaluate the effect of CNTF treatment.
