Estimates of mpox effective reproduction number in Spain, April-August 2022. [PDF]
Epidemiol Infect, 2023 Abstract We analysed the transmission of the human mpox virus in Spain by estimating the effective reproduction number of the disease from official surveillance data. Our computations show that this decreased steadily after an initial burst phase, dropping below 1 on July 12, and thus the outbreak was expected to reduce in the following weeks ...

Optimal allocation of limited vaccine to minimize the effective reproduction number. [PDF]
Math Biosci, 2021 We examine the problem of allocating a limited supply of vaccine for controlling an infectious disease with the goal of minimizing the effective reproduction number Re. We consider an SIR model with two interacting populations and develop an analytical expression that the optimal vaccine allocation must satisfy.
