Topographic determinants of foot and mouth disease transmission in the UK 2001 epidemic [PDF]

, 2006
Background A key challenge for modelling infectious disease dynamics is to understand the spatial spread of infection in real landscapes. This ideally requires a parallel record of spatial epidemic spread and a detailed map of susceptible host density ...

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

BMC 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.

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

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

Integrating stochasticity and network structure into an epidemic model [PDF]

, 2009
While the foundations of modern epidemiology are based upon deterministic models with homogeneous mixing, it is being increasingly realized that both spatial structure and stochasticity play major roles in shaping epidemic dynamics.

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

BMJ 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 ...

Pair-based likelihood approximations for stochastic epidemic models [PDF]

, 2021
Fitting stochastic epidemic models to data is a non-standard problem because data on the infection processes defined in such models are rarely observed directly. This in turn means that the likelihood of the observed data is intractable in the sense that

A stochastic differential equation SIS epidemic model [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper we extend the classical susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model from a deterministic framework to a stochastic one and formulate it as a stochastic differential equation (SDE) for the number of infectious individuals $I(t)$. We then

Reanalyzing the 1900-1920 sleeping sickness epidemic in Uganda. [PDF]

, 2004
Sleeping sickness has long been a major public health problem in Uganda. From 1900 to 1920, more than 250,000 people died in an epidemic that affected the southern part of the country, particularly the Busoga region.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
