A zero-inflated endemic-epidemic model with an application to measles time series in Germany [PDF]

, 2022
Count data with excessive zeros are often encountered when modelling infectious disease occurrence. The degree of zero inflation can vary over time due to non-epidemic periods as well as by age group or region. The existing endemic-epidemic modelling framework (aka HHH) lacks a proper treatment for surveillance data with excessive zeros as it is ...

Analysis, Simulation and Control of a New Measles Epidemic Model [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper the problem of modeling and controlling the measles epidemic spread is faced. A new model is proposed and analysed; besides the categories usually considered in measles modeling, the susceptible, the exposed, the infected, the removed and,

Novel Polyomaviruses in Mammals from Multiple Orders and Reassessment of Polyomavirus Evolution and Taxonomy

Viruses, 2019
As the phylogenetic organization of mammalian polyomaviruses is complex and currently incompletely resolved, we aimed at a deeper insight into their evolution by identifying polyomaviruses in host orders and families that have either rarely or not been ...

Reconstruction of disease transmission rates: applications to measles, dengue, and influenza [PDF]

J. Theor. Biol. 400 (2016) 138-153, 2014
Transmission rates are key in understanding the spread of infectious diseases. Using the framework of compartmental models, we introduce a simple method that enables us to reconstruct time series of transmission rates directly from incidence or disease-related mortality data.

The dynamics of measles in sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]

, 2008
Although vaccination has almost eliminated measles in parts of the world, the disease remains a major killer in some high birth rate countries of the Sahel.

Low prevalence of influenza A strains with resistance markers in Brazil during 2017–2019 seasons

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
The influenza A virus (IAV) is of a major public health concern as it causes annual epidemics and has the potential to cause pandemics. At present, the neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are the most widely used anti-influenza drugs, but, more recently, the

Early life exposure to measles and later-life outcomes: Evidence from the introduction of a vaccine [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Until the mid 1960s, the UK experienced regular measles epidemics, with the vast majority of children being infected in early childhood. The introduction of a measles vaccine substantially reduced its incidence. The first part of this paper examines the long-term human capital and health effects of this change in the early childhood disease environment.
