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 ...

A beta-Poisson model for infectious disease transmission. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyOutbreaks 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 ...

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

The perturbation effect in wildlife systems: an emergent property of simple models [PDF]
, 2012 Population reduction is often used as a control strategy when managing infectious diseases in wildlife populations, however it disrupts existing social structures and increases movement of infectives due to the vacuum effect, which may lead to enhanced ...

Household structure and infectious disease transmission [PDF]
, 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.

The Lancet Regional Health. Western Pacific, 2022 Summary: Background: The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases presents a significant challenge to public health and broader society. This study utilises novel nationwide data to calculate the transmission risk and potential inequity of ...

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.
