Revisiting Non-Specific Syndromic Surveillance [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Infectious disease surveillance is of great importance for the prevention of major outbreaks. Syndromic surveillance aims at developing algorithms which can detect outbreaks as early as possible by monitoring data sources which allow to capture the occurrences of a certain disease.

Comparing intervention measures in a model of a disease outbreak on a university campus [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A number of theoretical models have been developed in recent years modelling epidemic spread in educational settings such as universities to help inform re-opening strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, these studies have had differing conclusions as to the most effective non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Teaching Outbreak Preparedness in the Emergency Medicine Clerkship: An Innovative Approach
MedEdPORTAL, 2007 Clinicians should be competent at contagious disease outbreak detection and management. Given the threat of emerging infectious diseases and biowarfare, there is a need to develop instructional methods on these topics.

Correlation-based Discovery of Disease Patterns for Syndromic Surveillance [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Early outbreak detection is a key aspect in the containment of infectious diseases, as it enables the identification and isolation of infected individuals before the disease can spread to a larger population. Instead of detecting unexpected increases of infections by monitoring confirmed cases, syndromic surveillance aims at the detection of cases with

Mixture Likelihood Ratio Scan Statistic for Disease Outbreak Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Early detection of disease outbreaks is of paramount importance to implementing intervention strategies to mitigate the severity and duration of the outbreak. We build methodology that utilizes the characteristic profile of disease outbreaks to reduce the time to detection and false positive rate.

Introduction to statistical inference for infectious diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In this paper we first introduce the general stochastic epidemic model for the spread of infectious diseases. Then we give methods for inferring model parameters such as the basic reproduction number $R_0$ and vaccination coverage $v_c$ assuming different types of data from an outbreak such as final outbreak details and temporal data or observations ...
