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 ...

Exploring the Effect of Misinformation on Infectious Disease Transmission
Systems, 2022 Vaccines are one of the safest medical interventions in history and can protect against infectious diseases and ensure important health benefits. Despite these advantages, health professionals and policymakers face significant challenges in terms of ...

Structural identifiability of compartmental models for infectious disease transmission is influenced by data type [PDF]
Epidemics, 2022 If model identifiability is not confirmed, inferences from infectious disease transmission models may not be reliable, so they might lead to misleading recommendations.

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 ...

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

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.

Nature Communications, 2021 The true number of infections from SARS-Cov-2 is unknown and believed to exceed the reported numbers by several fold. National testing policies, in particular, can strongly affect the proportion of undetected cases.

The Universal Theory for Multiscale Modelling of Infectious Disease Dynamics
Mathematics, 2023 The replication-transmission relativity theory, currently used to inform the development of multiscale models of infectious disease dynamics, needs a revision and extension to accommodate new basic science and clinical information about infectious ...
