Semiparametric Relative-risk Regression for Infectious Disease Data [PDF]
This paper introduces semiparametric relative-risk regression models for infectious disease data based on contact intervals, where the contact interval from person i to person j is the time between the onset of infectiousness in i and infectious contact ...

The reachability of contagion in temporal contact networks: how disease latency can exploit the rhythm of human behavior [PDF]
The symptoms of many infectious diseases influence their host to withdraw from social activity limiting their own potential to spread. Successful transmission therefore requires the onset of infectiousness to coincide with a time when its host is ...

The impact of economic crises on communicable disease transmission and control: a systematic review of the evidence. [PDF]
There is concern among public health professionals that the current economic downturn, initiated by the financial crisis that started in 2007, could precipitate the transmission of infectious diseases while also limiting capacity for control.

Machine Learning for Infectious Disease Risk Prediction: A Survey [PDF]
Infectious diseases, either emerging or long-lasting, place numerous people at risk and bring heavy public health burdens worldwide. In the process against infectious diseases, predicting the epidemic risk by modeling the disease transmission plays an essential role in assisting with preventing and controlling disease transmission in a more effective ...

Automated Infectious Disease Forecasting: Use-cases and Practical Considerations for Pipeline Implementation [PDF]
Real-time forecasting of disease outbreaks requires standardized outputs generated in a timely manner. Development of pipelines to automate infectious disease forecasts can ensure that parameterization and software dependencies are common to any execution of the forecasting code.

A survey on modelling of infectious disease spread and control on social contact networks [PDF]
Infectious diseases are a significant threat to human society which was over sighted before the incidence of COVID-19, although according to the report of the World Health Organisation (WHO) about 4.2 million people die annually due to infectious disease.
