Monkeypox Virus (MPXV): Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Control Strategies: Exploring the Recent Resurgence of Monkeypox, Its Transmission Dynamics, Clinical Manifestations, and Public Health Responses
Abstract: Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has re-emerged as a significant public health concern, with increasing cases reported worldwide. This zoonotic virus, primarily endemic to Central and West Africa, has demonstrated the potential for human-to-human transmission, leading to outbreaks in non-endemic regions. Unlike smallpox, which was eradicated through mass vaccination, monkeypox continues to persist due to the lack of widespread immunity and effective antiviral treatments. The resurgence of MPXV in recent years, particularly …

Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics Using Stochastic Differential Equations: A Review
Abstract: The accurate modeling of infectious disease dynamics is crucial for predicting outbreaks and informing public health interventions. While deterministic models such as the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) framework have traditionally been used to understand disease transmission, they often fail to account for the randomness inherent in real-world scenarios. Disease spread is influenced by numerous uncertain factors, including individual behavioral changes, environmental fluctuations, and imperfect data reporting. These uncertainties can significantly impact model …

A Comprehensive Review of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
Abstract: The rare but potentially life-threatening immune-mediated condition dubbed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) impacts the peripheral nerves and nerve roots and is generally brought on by infections. As was the scenario during the Zika virus outbreaks in Latin America (2015) and French Polynesia (2013), the incidence of GBS may consequently escalate during influenza outbreaks. Considering GBS’s clinical features and ailments course are multiple and there are currently no global clinical guidelines, the …
