Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMathematical Model to Simulate Tuberculosis Disease Population DynamicsO.K. Koriko, T.T. YusufA mathematical model to depict Tuberculosis disease population dynamics was presented. The model population was compartmentalised as appropriate and the resulting model equations were solved numerically while different instances of the disease transmission were simulated. The graphical profiles of the various sub-populations with time were presented and discussed based on the results from our simulations. Also, the disease-free and endemic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,623 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of IL-10 in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma and Bacillus Calmette-Guerin ImmunotherapyYi Luo, Eric J. Askeland, Mark R. Newton, Michael A.
