Global outbreaks caused by emerging or re-emerging arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are becoming increasingly more common. These pathogens include the mosquito-borne viruses belonging to the and genera. These viruses often cause non-specific ...
Simple, inexpensive, and rapid diagnostic tests in low-resource settings with limited laboratory equipment and technical expertise are instrumental in reducing morbidity and mortality from epidemic infectious diseases. We developed a smartphone-based...
Social media are important platforms for risk communication during public health crises. Effective dissemination of accurate, relevant, and up-to-date health information is important for the public to raise awareness and develop risk management strat...

Imbalanced datasets, comprising of more inactive compounds relative to the active ones, are a common challenge in ligand-based model building workflows for drug discovery. This is particularly true for neglected tropical diseases since efforts to ide...
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex subcellular organelle composed of diverse structures such as tubules, sheets and tubular matrices. Flaviviruses such as Zika virus (ZIKV) induce reorganization of ER membranes to facilitate viral replicatio...
The motive of current investigations is to design a novel radial basis neural network stochastic structure to present the numerical representations of the Zika virus spreading model (ZVSM). The mathematical ZVSM is categorized into humans and vectors...
Nowadays, a multitude of biosensors are being developed worldwide. However, a significant challenge arises when these biosensors are tested in real sample environments, as many of them fail to perform as expected. This can lead to ambiguous results a...
PURPOSE: This study aims to identify and rank the key risk factors associated with the Zika virus by leveraging a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework based on type-2 heptagonal fuzzy sets. By integrating advanced aggregation operato...
