Measles is the third vaccine-preventable infectious disease (after smallpox and polio) that the World Health Organization (WHO) aims to eradicate. Due to its high morbidity and mortality, measles is one of six diseases that were included in the 1974 Extended Immunization Program. In this study, we evaluated the epidemiology of Measles in Europe and Turkey, and then we analyzed Measles incidence in Turkey between 1960 and 2016 with Regression Analysis.

The impacts of COVID-19 lockdown on PM10 and SO2 concentrations and association with human mobility across Turkey Orak, Nur Hanife; Özdemir, Ozancan (2021-06-01) The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic (COVID-19) has caused 2.25 million deaths worldwide by February 3, 2021 (JHU, 2021) and still causing severe health and economic disruptions with increasing rates. This study investigates the impact of lockdown measures on ambient air pollution and its association with human mobility in 81 cities of Turkey. We conducted a countrywide analysis using PM10 and SO2 measurement data by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and mobility data derived from cellular devic...
A Hybrid feature selection model for genome wide association studies Yücebaş, Sait Can; Baykal, Nazife; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Department of Health Informatics (2013) Through Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) many SNP-complex disease relations have been investigated so far. GWAS presents high amount – high dimensional data and relations between SNPs, phenotypes and diseases are most likely to be nonlinear. In order to handle high volume-high dimensional data and to be able to find the nonlinear relations, data mining approaches are needed. A hybrid feature selection model of support vector machine and decision tree has been designed. This model also combines the gen...
PRODUCTION OF VIRUS LIKE PARTICLES EXPRESSING ALPHA (B.1.1.7) OR DELTA PLUS (B.1.617.2.1) SPIKE VARIANTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PSEUDOTYPED VIRUS NEUTRALIZATION ASSAY Güvençli, Neşe; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-2-10) Vaccines are one of the most important public health interventions to combat the spread of infectious diseases. All currently approved COVID-19 vaccines target Spike antigen derived from the authentic Wuhan strain. However, with the emergence of new variants effectiveness of the current vaccines declined, commensurate to their ability to generate neutralizing antibodies against some variants of concern (VOC). Since new VOCs are predicted to emerge the next 2-4 years, variant specific vaccines are urgently n...
Two formulations of coronavirus disease-19 recombinant subunit vaccine candidate made up of S1 fragment protein P1, S2 fragment protein P2, and nucleocapsid protein elicit strong immunogenicity in mice Özcengiz, Erkan; Keser, Duygu; Özcengiz, Gülay; Çelik, Gözde; ÖZKUL, AYKUT; İnçeh, Fatma Nur (2022-12-01) Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is ongoing as a global epidemic and there is still a need to develop much safer and more effective new vaccines that can also be easily adapted to important variants of the pathogen. In the present study in this direction, we developed a new COVID-19 vaccine, composed of two critical antigenic fragments of the S1 and S2 region of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 as well as the whole nucleocapsid protein (N), which was formulated with either alum or alum plus mon...
An analysis of the incidence of measles in Turkey since 1960 Caliskan, Deniz; Piyal, Birgul; Akdur, Recep; Ocaktan, Mine Esin; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (2016-01-01) Background/aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate measles incidence and the effect of elimination strategy interventions on the disease from 1960 to 2014 in Turkey. The administration of measles vaccine started in the rural regions in 1970; it was carried out as a campaign along with the National Vaccine Campaign in 1985, and it has been employed as combined measles, mumps, and rubella under the scope of the Measles Elimination Program (MEP) since 2006 in Turkey. While a dramatic decrease in the repor...
