Extracting the time-dependent transmission rate from infection data via solution of an inverse ODE problem [PDF]
The transmission rate of many acute infectious diseases varies significantly in time, but the underlying mechanisms are usually uncertain. They may include seasonal changes in the environment, contact rate, immune system response, etc.

Vertical transmission of chronic wasting disease in free-ranging white-tailed deer populations
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting cervids across North America, Northern Europe, and Asia. Disease transmission among cervids has historically been attributed to direct animal-to-animal contact with ‘secreta ...

COVID-19 Pandemic: Oral Repercussions and its Possible Impact on Oral Health
Many viral infections cause oral manifestations, including disorders in odontogenesis, resulting in dental malformations. In this review, based on current knowledge, we will discuss the likely dental and oral consequences of COVID-19.

Networks and the epidemiology of infectious disease [PDF]
The science of networks has revolutionised research into the dynamics of interacting elements. It could be argued that epidemiology in particular has embraced the potential of network theory more than any other discipline. Here we review the growing body

A Bayesian inference framework to reconstruct transmission trees using epidemiological and genetic data [PDF]
The accurate identification of the route of transmission taken by an infectious agent through a host population is critical to understanding its epidemiology and informing measures for its control. However, reconstruction of transmission routes during an

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