Traits and risk factors of post-disaster infectious disease outbreaks: a systematic review [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Infectious disease outbreaks are increasingly recognised as events that exacerbate impacts or prolong recovery following disasters. Yet, our understanding of the frequency, geography, characteristics and risk factors of post-disaster disease outbreaks ...

The Multiple Origins of Ebola Disease Outbreaks. [PDF]
J Infect Dis, 2023 BACKGROUND The origins of Ebola disease outbreaks remain enigmatic. Historically outbreaks have been attributed to spillover events from wildlife. However, recent data suggest that some outbreaks may originate from human-to-human transmission of prior ...

Conducting research in disease outbreaks. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2009 Conducting research in an emergency situation, such as an outbreak of disease, poses ethical challenges. These challenges differ according to the type of research: epidemiologic or clinical, and for the latter, whether the disease outbreak can be anticipated in advance. We address these three situations, proposing different potential solutions for each.

Incentives for reporting disease outbreaks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Countries face conflicting incentives to report infectious disease outbreaks. Reports of outbreaks can prompt other countries to impose trade and travel restrictions, which has the potential to discourage reporting.

On the predictability of infectious disease outbreaks [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractInfectious disease outbreaks recapitulate biology: they emerge from the multi-level interaction of hosts, pathogens, and environment. Therefore, outbreak forecasting requires an integrative approach to modeling. While specific components of outbreaks are predictable, it remains unclear whether fundamental limits to outbreak prediction exist ...

The Politics of Uncertainty, 2020 In recent years, fears about infectious diseases with pandemic potential have led to global initiatives to predict, prepare and respond to outbreaks. Practices that are focused on prediction and control centre on turning uncertainties into ‘risk’, through surveillance, modelling and scenario planning.
