Mathematical models of infectious disease transmission [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008 Mathematical analysis and modelling is central to infectious disease epidemiology. Here, we provide an intuitive introduction to the process of disease transmission, how this stochastic process can be represented mathematically and how this mathematical representation can be used to analyse the emergent dynamics of observed epidemics.

Infectious Disease Transmission during Organ and Tissue Transplantation
Emerging 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Modelling infectious diseases with herd immunity in a randomly mixed population
Scientific 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 ...

Revealing mechanisms of infectious disease spread through empirical contact networks.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 The spread of pathogens fundamentally depends on the underlying contacts between individuals. Modeling the dynamics of infectious disease spread through contact networks, however, can be challenging due to limited knowledge of how an infectious disease ...

Deliberate transmission of infectious diseases
An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities), 2022 In This research, entitled (deliberate transmission of infectious diseases). we talked about the concept of infectious diseases and their seriousness in weakening the immune system of the body, the types of these infectious diseases, the organisms causing them, and the role of Islam and its approach in taking preventive measures to prevent the ...
