A beta-Poisson model for infectious disease transmission. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Outbreaks of emerging and zoonotic infections represent a substantial threat to human health and well-being. These outbreaks tend to be characterised by highly stochastic transmission dynamics with intense variation in transmission potential between ...

Multi-Scale Airborne Infectious Disease Transmission. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Airborne disease transmission is central to many scientific disciplines, including agriculture, veterinary biosafety, medicine, and public health. Legal and regulatory standards are in place to prevent agricultural, nosocomial, and community airborne disease transmission.

Mathematical models of infectious disease transmission [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008 Mathematical analysis and modelling is central to infectious disease epidemiology. Here, we provide an intuitive introduction to the process of disease transmission, how this stochastic process can be represented mathematically and how this mathematical representation can be used to analyse the emergent dynamics of observed epidemics.

A mathematical model of infectious disease transmission [PDF]
ITM Web of Conferences, 2020 In this paper we consider a three-dimensional nonlinear system which models the dynamics of a population during an epidemic disease. The considered model is a SIS-type system in which a recovered individual automatically becomes a susceptible one.

Prevention and control of infectious disease transmission in subways: an improved susceptible–exposed–infected–recovered model [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthIntroductionA well-connected transportation network unites localities but also accelerates the transmission of infectious diseases. Subways—an important aspect of daily travel in big cities—are high-risk sites for the transmission of urban epidemics ...

Pathogen.jl: Infectious Disease Transmission Network Modeling with Julia
Journal of Statistical Software, 2022 We introduce Pathogen.jl for simulation and inference of transmission network individual level models (TN-ILMs) of infectious disease spread in continuous time. TN-ILMs can be used to jointly infer transmission networks, event times, and model parameters

Nurses’ Contacts and Potential for Infectious Disease Transmission
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Nurses’ contacts with potentially infectious persons probably place them at higher risk than the general population for infectious diseases. During an influenza pandemic, illness among nurses might result in staff shortage.

Bayesian workflow for time-varying transmission in stratified compartmental infectious disease transmission models. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyCompartmental models that describe infectious disease transmission across subpopulations are central for assessing the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions, behavioral changes and seasonal effects on the spread of respiratory infections. We present
