Infectious Disease Transmission during Organ and Tissue Transplantation

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Infectious disease transmission through organ and tissue transplantation has been associated with severe complications in recipients. Determination of donor-derived infectious risk associated with organ and tissue transplantation is challenging and ...

Rapid incidence estimation from SARS-CoV-2 genomes reveals decreased case detection in Europe during summer 2020

open access: yesNature 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

open access: yesMathematics, 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 ...

The transmission mechanism theory of disease dynamics: Its aims, assumptions and limitations

open access: yesInfectious Disease Modelling, 2023
Most of the progress in the development of single scale mathematical and computational models for the study of infectious disease dynamics which now span over a century is build on a body of knowledge that has been developed to address particular single ...

Household structure and infectious disease transmission [PDF]

open access: yesEpidemiology and Infection, 2008
SUMMARYOne of the central tenets of modern infectious disease epidemiology is that an understanding of heterogeneities, both in host demography and transmission, allows control to be efficiently optimized. Due to the strong interactions present, households are one of the most important heterogeneities to consider, both in terms of predicting epidemic ...

Modelling infectious diseases with herd immunity in a randomly mixed population

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The conventional susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model tends to magnify the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases, and thus the estimated total infections and immunized population may be higher than the threshold required for infection ...
