Household structure and infectious disease transmission [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 2009 One 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.

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.

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.

A beta-Poisson model for infectious disease transmission. [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol, 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 cases.

The importance of hemovigilance in the transmission of infectious diseases [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2013 Hemovigilance is an organized system of surveillance throughout the transfusion chain intended to evaluate information in order to prevent the appearance or recurrence of adverse reactions related to the use of blood products.The aims of this study were to assess the late reporting of incidents related to possible seroconversion in respect to age ...

Calculation of disease dynamics in a population of households [PDF]
, 2010 Early mathematical representations of infectious disease dynamics assumed a single, large, homogeneously mixing population. Over the past decade there has been growing interest in models consisting of multiple smaller subpopulations (households ...

Social encounter networks : collective properties and disease transmission [PDF]
, 2012 A fundamental challenge of modern infectious disease epidemiology is to quantify the networks of social and physical contacts through which transmission can occur.

Infectious Disease Modeling and the Dynamics of Transmission [PDF]
, 2007 The dynamics of any infectious disease are heavily dependent on the rate of transmission from infectious to susceptible hosts. In many disease models, this rate is captured in a single compound parameter, the probability of transmission P. However, closer examination reveals how beta can be further decomposed into a number of biologically relevant ...
