Identification and characterization of microRNAs expressed in the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus life stages using high throughput sequencing
Allam, Mushal; Spillings, Belinda L.; Abdalla, Hiba; Mapiye, Darlington; Koekemoer, Lizette L.; Christoffels, Alan (BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Over the past several years, thousands of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified in the genomes of various insects through cloning and sequencing or even by computational prediction. However, the number of ... -
A population model for the 2017/18 listeriosis outbreak in South Africa
Witbooi, Peter Joseph; Africa, Charlene Wilma Joyce; Christoffels, Alan; Ahmed, Ibrahim Hussin Ibrahim (PLoS One, 2020-03-12)We introduce a compartmental model of ordinary differential equations for the population dynamics of listeriosis, and we derive a model for analysing a listeriosis outbreak. The model explicitly accommodates neonatal ...
