Because Halfdan is not mentioned in any source that mentions Hvitserk, some scholars have suggested that they are the same individual – a possibility reinforced by the fact that Halfdan was a relatively common name among Vikings and Hvitserk "white shirt" may have been an epithet or nickname that distinguished Halfdan from other men by the ...

These models are typically represented by partial differential equations, in contrast to classical models described as systems of ordinary differential equations. Following the derivation principles of kinetic theory, they provide a more rigorous description of epidemic dynamics by starting from agent-based interactions.
A hospital-acquired infection, also known as a nosocomial infection (from the Greek nosokomeion, meaning "hospital"), is an infection that is acquired in a hospital or other healthcare facility. [1] To emphasize both hospital and nonhospital settings, it is sometimes instead called a healthcare-associated infection . [ 2 ]
In 1985, retroactive testing of the frozen blood serum indicated that 50 of the children had antibodies to a virus related to HIV. [ 18 ] Arvid Darre Noe (an anagram of his birth name Arne Vidar Røed) was a Norwegian sailor and truck driver who was probably infected in Cameroon some time between 1962 and 1965, and died on 24 April 1976.
In Russia, 13 children had been treated (5 with intensive care) by mid-June for a multisystem inflammatory syndrome at the Morozov Children's Hospital in Moscow, including a 2-year-old girl with the COVID-19 infection who died on 23 May following an initial diagnosis of suspected Kawasaki disease.

Transmission electron micrograph of the Sin Nombre virus, the virus responsible for the outbreak. The spherical particles are virus bodies (virions). The 1993 Four Corners hantavirus outbreak was a disease outbreak caused by a hantavirus that occurred in the Four Corners region of the US states in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.
The Wells-Riley model is a simple model of the airborne transmission of infectious diseases, [1] [2] developed by William F. Wells and Richard L. Riley for tuberculosis [3] and measles. [ 4 ] Wells-Riley can also be applied to other diseases transmitted in the air, such as COVID-19 .
