Defending against smallpox: a focus on vaccines
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2016 Smallpox has shaped human history, from the earliest human civilizations well into the 20th century. With high mortality rates, rapid transmission, and serious long-term effects on survivors, smallpox was a much-feared disease.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1902 During epidemics of smallpox the anticipatory attitude of the physician's mind will often lead him to suspect as variola diseases which bear only a superficial resemblance to it. Contrariwise, in the absence of epidemic prevalence of smallpox, mild cases are apt to be overlooked.

No Smallpox in Minnesota. [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1894 Red Wing, Minn., March 6, 1894. To the Editor: Please contradict the report of smallpox in St. Paul. There has been none there this year. The report of students exposed therefore is a mistake. There is none in Minnesota.

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.

Characterization of Two Historic Smallpox Specimens from a Czech Museum
Viruses, 2017 Although smallpox has been known for centuries, the oldest available variola virus strains were isolated in the early 1940s. At that time, large regions of the world were already smallpox-free.

A generalized-growth model to characterize the early ascending phase of infectious disease outbreaks [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 A better characterization of the early growth dynamics of an epidemic is needed to dissect the important drivers of disease transmission. We introduce a 2-parameter generalized-growth model to characterize the ascending phase of an outbreak and capture epidemic profiles ranging from sub-exponential to exponential growth.

Susceptible‐infected‐recovered model with stochastic transmission
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The susceptible‐infected‐recovered (SIR) model is the cornerstone of epidemiological models. However, this specification depends on two parameters only, which results in its lack of flexibility and explains its difficulty to replicate the volatile reproduction numbers observed in practice.
