The epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis: transmission rates estimated from a cohort study in Amazonian Brazil [PDF]
, 1997 We estimate the incidence rate, serological conversion rate and basic case reproduction number (R0) of Leishmania infantum from a cohort study of 126 domestic dogs exposed to natural infection rates over 2 years on Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil.

Transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in England
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Background: The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a tremendous health burden and impact on the world economy. The UK Government implemented the biggest lockdown of society during peacetime in British history at the end of ...

A review of epidemiological parameters from Ebola outbreaks to inform early public health decision-making. [PDF]
, 2015 The unprecedented scale of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has, as of 29 April 2015, resulted in more than 10,884 deaths among 26,277 cases. Prior to the ongoing outbreak, Ebola virus disease (EVD) caused relatively small outbreaks (maximum outbreak ...

Estimating epidemic exponential growth rate and basic reproduction number
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020 The initial exponential growth rate of an epidemic is an important measure of the severeness of the epidemic, and is also closely related to the basic reproduction number.

Distributed Reproduction Numbers of Networked Epidemics
2023 American Control Conference (ACC), 2023 Reproduction numbers are widely used for the estimation and prediction of epidemic spreading processes over networks. However, reproduction numbers do not enable estimation and prediction in individual communities within networks, and they can be difficult to compute due to the aggregation of infection data that is required to do so. Therefore, in this

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a Taenia saginata model with control measures
Results in Control and Optimization, 2023 Bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis are neglected diseases caused by the beef tapeworm Taenia saginata. These diseases affect both human and animal health, rural livestock producers’ livelihoods, and the economies of the nations.

Infectious Disease ModellingIn this study, by applying population mobility data in July, August and September of 2019–2023 in Japan to a multigroup epidemic model, we calculate the type and target reproduction numbers of each prefecture in Japan. Regarding these values as a kind of

Lyapunov Functions for Tuberculosis Models with Fast and Slow Progression [PDF]
, 2006 The spread of tuberculosis is studied through two models which include fast and slow progression to the infected class. For each model, Lyapunov functions are used to show that when the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one, the disease ...

The discounted reproductive number for epidemiology
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2009 The basic reproductive number, R(0), and the effective reproductive number, R, are commonly used in mathematical epidemiology as summary statistics for the size and controllability of epidemics. However, these commonly used reproductive numbers can be misleading when applied to predict pathogen evolution because they do not incorporate the impact of ...
