On the Identifiability of Transmission Dynamic Models for Infectious Diseases [PDF]
Genetics, 2015 Abstract Understanding the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases is important for both biological research and public health applications. It has been widely demonstrated that statistical modeling provides a firm basis for inferring relevant epidemiological quantities from incidence and molecular data.

Is noma an infectious disease? Is it transmissible? [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2011 Noma is a devastating facial necrosis affecting young children in developing countries. The causative agents are not well identified, in particular the association of noma with specific microbiological agents and the risk for transmission.

The SIR dynamic model of infectious disease transmission and its analogy with chemical kinetics
, 2020 Mathematical models of the dynamics of infectious disease transmission are used to forecast epidemics and assess mitigation strategies. We reveal that the classic Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model resembles a dynamic model of a batch ...

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 ...

Extracting the time-dependent transmission rate from infection data via solution of an inverse ODE problem [PDF]
, 2012 The transmission rate of many acute infectious diseases varies significantly in time, but the underlying mechanisms are usually uncertain. They may include seasonal changes in the environment, contact rate, immune system response, etc.

A framework for reconstructing transmission networks in infectious diseases
Applied Network Science, 2022 AbstractIn this paper, we propose a general framework for the reconstruction of the underlying cross-regional transmission network contributing to the spread of an infectious disease. We employ an autoregressive model that allows to decompose the mean number of infections into three components that describe: intra-locality infections, inter-locality ...
