Effective reproduction number: Convexity, invariance and cordons sanitaires
, 2021 We consider the problem of optimal allocation strategies for a (perfect) vaccine in an infinite-metapopulation model (including SIS, SIR, SEIR,. . .), when the loss function is given by the effective reproduction number Re, which is defined as the spectral radius of the effective next generation matrix (in finite dimension) or more generally of the ...

estimateR: an R package to estimate and monitor the effective reproductive number
BMC Bioinformatics, 2023 AbstractBackgroundAccurate estimation of the effective reproductive number ($$R_e$$Re) of epidemic outbreaks is of central relevance to public health policy and decision making. We present estimateR, an R package for the estimation of the reproductive number through time from delayed observations of infection events.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a Taenia saginata model with control measures
Results in Control and Optimization, 2023 Bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis are neglected diseases caused by the beef tapeworm Taenia saginata. These diseases affect both human and animal health, rural livestock producers’ livelihoods, and the economies of the nations.

Fine-scale estimation of effective reproduction numbers for dengue surveillance
PLOS Computational Biology, 2022 The effective reproduction numberRtis an epidemiological quantity that provides an instantaneous measure of transmission potential of an infectious disease. While dengue is an increasingly important vector-borne disease, few have usedRtas a measure to inform public health operations and policy for dengue.

Transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in England
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Background: The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a tremendous health burden and impact on the world economy. The UK Government implemented the biggest lockdown of society during peacetime in British history at the end of ...

Effects of Demographic and Weather Parameters on COVID-19 Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 It is hard to overstate the importance of a timely prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic progression. Yet, this is not possible without a comprehensive understanding of environmental factors that may affect the infection transmissibility. Studies addressing parameters that may influence COVID-19 progression relied on either the total numbers of detected ...

Predicting the SARS-CoV-2 effective reproduction number using bulk contact data from mobile phones
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Numerous COVID-19 studies used mobile phone data but with limited power in accounting for infection numbers. We have evaluated deidentified Global Positioning System (GPS) data from over 1 million devices in Germany and inferred contacts ...
