Incorporating social contact data in spatio-temporal models for infectious disease spread [PDF]
Biostatistics (2017); 18(2):338-351, 2015 Routine public health surveillance of notifiable infectious diseases gives rise to weekly counts of reported cases -- possibly stratified by region and/or age group. We investigate how an age-structured social contact matrix can be incorporated into a spatio-temporal endemic-epidemic model for infectious disease counts.

Forecasting Based on Surveillance Data [PDF]
Handbook of Infectious Disease Data Analysis; Chapman & Hall/CRC,
2019; Chapter 25, 2018 Forecasting the future course of epidemics has always been one of the main goals of epidemic modelling. This chapter reviews statistical methods to quantify the accuracy of epidemic forecasts. We distinguish point and probabilistic forecasts and describe different methods to evaluate and compare the predictive performance across models.

Norovirus assembly and stability
Current Opinion in Virology, 2018 Noroviruses are rapidly evolving RNA viruses and are generally known as the main cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide. Particle stability is of special interest as transmission occurs via the faecal-oral route and virions are able to persist in the environment.

The State of Norovirus Vaccines [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2014 Noroviruses represent the most important cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide; however, currently no licensed vaccine exists. Widespread vaccination that minimizes overall norovirus disease burden would benefit the entire population, but targeted vaccination of specific populations such as healthcare workers may further mitigate the risk of severe ...

Actualités sur les norovirus [PDF]
médecine/sciences, 2010 Noroviruses belong to the Caliciviridae family. They are a major cause of sporadic cases and outbreaks of gastroenteritis in all age groups, and are responsible for a considerable disease burden in industrialized countries. Noroviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses, and show great genetic diversity making their detection difficult. Noroviruses can be
