Scientists have known for decades that genes can be transferred from one species to another, both in animals and plants. However, the mechanism of how such an unlikely event occurs remained unknown. Now, researchers identify a vector of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in worms. The findings could lead to the discovery of further vectors of HGT in eukaryotes and might find applications in pathogen control.

Compartmental models in epidemiology are used to gain insight into the transmission of contagious illnesses and forecast their development. These mathematical models classify individuals within a population into distinct compartments based on their disease status, such as susceptible, infected, or recovered. In this blog, we take a look at common compartmental models like the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) model and their benefits and limitations.
