Household structure and infectious disease transmission [PDF]
Epidemiology 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 ...

Sheep Movement Networks and the Transmission of Infectious Diseases [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Various approaches have been used to investigate how properties of farm contact networks impact on the transmission of infectious diseases. The potential for transmission of an infection through a contact network can be evaluated in terms of the basic reproduction number, R(0).

The SIR dynamic model of infectious disease transmission and its analogy with chemical kinetics [PDF]
PeerJ Physical Chemistry, 2020 Mathematical models of the dynamics of infectious disease transmission are used to forecast epidemics and assess mitigation strategies. In this article, we highlight the analogy between the dynamics of disease transmission and chemical reaction kinetics ...

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.

Research on an Infectious Disease Transmission by Flocking Birds [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 The swarm intelligence is becoming a hot topic. The flocking of birds is a natural phenomenon, which is formed and organized without central or external controls for some benefits (e.g., reduction of energy consummation).

Effects of masks on the transmission of infectious diseases [PDF]
Advances in Difference Equations, 2021 AbstractIn the present paper, based on the conditions that asymptomatic virus carriers are contagious and all symptomatic infected individuals wear masks, we study the impact of wearing masks in the susceptible and the asymptomatic virus carriers on the spread of infectious diseases by developing a differential equation model.

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.

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

Infectious disease and novel ecosystems [PDF]
, 2013 The contributions of habitat destruction, exotic species invasion and climate change on infectious disease ecology are difficult to disentangle. This chapter considers two case studies.
