Quantifying the spread of communicable diseases with immigration of infectious individuals [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We construct a set of new epidemiological thresholds to address the general problem of spreading and containment of a disease with influx of infected individuals when the classic $\mathcal R_0$ is no longer meaningful. We provide analytical properties of these indices and illustrate their usefulness in a compartmental model of COVID-19 with data taken ...

Time Evolution of Disease Spread on Networks with Degree Heterogeneity [PDF]
, 2007 Two crucial elements facilitate the understanding and control of communicable disease spread within a social setting. These components are, the underlying contact structure among individuals that determines the pattern of disease transmission; and the evolution of this pattern over time.

Bayesian nonparametrics for stochastic epidemic models [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The vast majority of models for the spread of communicable diseases are parametric in nature and involve underlying assumptions about how the disease spreads through a population. In this article we consider the use of Bayesian nonparametric approaches to analysing data from disease outbreaks.
