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 ...

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.
