Policy for Managing a Community Infectious Disease Outbreak
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1991Abstract Objective: To identify guidelines for the management of an infectious disease emergency. Setting: In February 1990, the discovery of hepatitis A in three foodhandlers prompted city and state health officials ...

Infectious Disease Outbreaks in Competitive Sports
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2006Recent outbreaks of infectious diseases in athletes in competitive sports have stimulated considerable interest. The environments in which these athletes compete, practice, receive therapy for injuries, and travel, both domestically and internationally, provide varied opportunities for the transmission of infectious organisms.

Using the Internet to Identify Infectious-Disease Outbreaks
New England Journal of Medicine, 2004To the Editor: The Emerging Infections Network (EIN) is a health care provider–based, sentinel network that was established in 1996. Its central feature is an e-mail list (listserv) with 946 participants from all 50 states and 36 foreign countries.

Assumptions management in simulation of infectious disease outbreaks.
AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2011Simulation of outbreaks of infectious disease is an important tool for understanding the dynamics of the outbreak process, the impact of disease and population properties, and the potential effect of interventions. However, the interpretation of the simulation results requires a clear understanding of the assumptions made in the underlying model ...

Sliding Mode Control of Outbreaks of Emerging Infectious Diseases
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2012This paper proposes and analyzes a mathematical model of an infectious disease system with a piecewise control function concerning threshold policy for disease management strategy. The proposed models extend the classic models by including a piecewise incidence rate to represent control or precautionary measures being triggered once the number of ...

Incentives for Reporting Infectious Disease Outbreaks
Journal of Human Resources, 2010Abstract:The global spread of diseases such as swine flu and SARS highlights the difficult decision governments face when presented with evidence of a local outbreak. Reporting the outbreak may bring medical assistance but is also likely to trigger trade sanctions by countries hoping to contain the disease.

On an Individual-Based Model for Infectious Disease Outbreaks
2013The mathematical modelling of infectious diseases is a large research area with a wide literature. In the recent past, most of the scientific contributions focused on compartmental models. However, the increasing computing power is pushing towards the development of individual models that consider the disease transmission and evolution at a very fine ...

Campus Management of Infectious Disease Outbreaks
2020Communicable and infectious diseases are no strangers to campus health. Multiple factors in the campus environment contribute to increased risk for students, faculty, and staff. Awareness of current and future risks, and identifying responsibilities and resources result from partnerships with campus and local community capacity.
