State space collapse for critical multistage epidemics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study a multistage epidemic model which generalizes the SIR model and where infected individuals go through K>0 stages of the epidemic before being removed.

Antiviral activity of diallyl trisulfide against H9N2 avian influenza virus infection in vitro and in vivo

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2021
Background Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is a garlic-derived organosulfur compound. As it has been shown to have anti-viral activity, we hypothesized that it may alleviate infections caused by H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV), which is prevalent in poultry ...

The spatial distribution and breeding behavior of neighbors affect the reproductive success of tits

open access: yesAvian Research, 2022
The spatial distribution and breeding behavior of neighboring birds (conspecific and heterospecific) may influence reproduction and the effects differ across species.

Comment on ''Properties of highly clustered networks" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We consider a procedure for generating clustered networks previously reported by Newman [Phys. Rev. E 68, 026121 (2003)]. In the same study, clustered networks generated according to the proposed model have been reported to have a lower epidemic ...

Human mobility and poverty as key drivers of COVID-19 transmission and control

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2021
Background Applying heavy nationwide restrictions is a powerful method to curtail COVID-19 transmission but poses a significant humanitarian and economic crisis.

Epidemics on random graphs with tunable clustering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, a branching process approximation for the spread of a Reed-Frost epidemic on a network with tunable clustering is derived. The approximation gives rise to expressions for the epidemic threshold and the probability of a large outbreak in ...

Extinction times in the subcritical stochastic SIS logistic epidemic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Many real epidemics of an infectious disease are not straightforwardly super- or sub-critical, and the understanding of epidemic models that exhibit such complexity has been identified as a priority for theoretical work. We provide insights into the near-

Rapid diagnostic test: a critical need for outbreak preparedness and response for high priority pathogens

open access: yesBMJ Global Health
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are critical for preparedness and response against an outbreak or pandemic and have been highlighted in the 100 Days Mission, a global initiative that aims to prepare the world for the next epidemic/pandemic by driving the ...

Suppressing epidemic spreading by risk-averse migration in dynamical networks

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we study the interplay between individual behaviors and epidemic spreading in a dynamical network. We distribute agents on a square-shaped region with periodic boundary conditions.

Contagions in Random Networks with Overlapping Communities

open access: yes, 2014
We consider a threshold epidemic model on a clustered random graph with overlapping communities. In other words, our epidemic model is such that an individual becomes infected as soon as the proportion of her infected neighbors exceeds the threshold q of
