How Spatial Epidemiology Helps Understand Infectious Human Disease Transmission
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022 Both directly and indirectly transmitted infectious diseases in humans are spatial-related. Spatial dimensions include: distances between susceptible humans and the environments shared by people, contaminated materials, and infectious animal species ...

Conflict and Health, 2021 Background The impacts of infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics are not gender neutral. Instead, infectious diseases and gender-based violence (GBV) mutually reinforce each other.

Fast estimation of time-varying infectious disease transmission rates.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 Compartmental epidemic models have been used extensively to study the historical spread of infectious diseases and to inform strategies for future control. A critical parameter of any such model is the transmission rate.

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 ...

Transmission heterogeneity and control strategies for infectious disease emergence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The control of emergence and spread of infectious diseases depends critically on the details of the genetic makeup of pathogens and hosts, their immunological, behavioral and ecological traits, and the pattern of temporal and spatial contacts among the ...

Geographically dependent individual-level models for infectious diseases transmission [PDF]
Biostatistics, 2020 SummaryInfectious disease models can be of great use for understanding the underlying mechanisms that influence the spread of diseases and predicting future disease progression. Modeling has been increasingly used to evaluate the potential impact of different control measures and to guide public health policy decisions.

Mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission in macroalgae
Advances in Difference Equations, 2017 Understanding the infectious diseases outbreak of algae can provide significant knowledge for disease control intervention and/or prevention. We consider here a disease caused by highly pathogenic organisms that can result in the death of algae.

Transmission of infectious diseases during commercial air travel [PDF]
The Lancet, 2005 Because of the increasing ease and affordability of air travel and mobility of people, airborne, food-borne, vector-borne, and zoonotic infectious diseases transmitted during commercial air travel are an important public health issue. Heightened fear of bioterrorism agents has caused health officials to re-examine the potential of these agents to be ...
