A space-time conditional intensity model for infectious disease occurence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A novel point process model continuous in space-time is proposed for infectious disease data. Modelling is based on the conditional intensity function (CIF) and extends an additive-multiplicative CIF model previously proposed for discrete space epidemic ...

Mobility traces and spreading of COVID-19 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We use human mobility models, for which we are experts, and attach a virus infection dynamics to it, for which we are not experts but have taken it from the literature, including recent publications. This results in a virus spreading dynamics model.

Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Short-term forecasts and long-term mitigation evaluations for the COVID-19 epidemic in Hubei Province, China

open access: yesInfectious Disease Modelling, 2020
As an emerging infectious disease, the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has developed into a global pandemic. During the initial spreading of the virus in China, we demonstrated the ensemble Kalman filter performed well as a short-term predictor of ...

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

A theoretical framework for agent-based modelling of infectious disease dynamics under misinformation and vaccine hesitancy

open access: yesРадіоелектронні і комп'ютерні системи
The relevance of this study stems from the growing importance of modelling not only the biological transmission of infectious diseases but also the behavioural and informational factors that shape real-world epidemic dynamics. The subject of the research

The COVID-19 pandemic preparedness simulation tool: CovidSIM

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Efficient control and management in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic needs to carefully balance economical and realizable interventions. Simulation models can play a cardinal role in forecasting possible scenarios to sustain decision support ...

Network Inoculation: Heteroclinics and phase transitions in an epidemic model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In epidemiological modelling, dynamics on networks, and in particular adaptive and heterogeneous networks have recently received much interest. Here we present a detailed analysis of a previously proposed model that combines heterogeneity in the ...
