Spatial Epidemiology ofPlasmodium vivax, Afghanistan [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Plasmodium vivax is endemic to many areas of Afghanistan. Geographic analysis helped highlight areas of malaria risk and clarified ecologic risk factors for transmission. Remote sensing enabled development of a risk map, thereby providing a valuable tool to help guide malaria control strategies.

TaqMan Assays for Simultaneous Detection of Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis

Pathogens, 2020
Anthrax is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Primarily a disease of herbivores, human infections often result from direct contact with contaminated animal products (cutaneous and inhalational anthrax ...

Innovation to impact in spatial epidemiology [PDF]

BMC Medicine, 2018
Spatial epidemiology is a rapidly advancing field, pushing our abilities to measure, monitor and map pathogens at increasingly finer spatiotemporal scales. However, these scales often do not align with the abilities of control programmes to act at them, building a disconnect between academia and implementation.

Historical distribution and host-vector diversity of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, in Ukraine

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a zoonotic agent that remains across much of the northern hemisphere, where it exists in enzootic cycles.

Mapping the zoonotic niche of Ebola virus disease in Africa

eLife, 2014
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a complex zoonosis that is highly virulent in humans. The largest recorded outbreak of EVD is ongoing in West Africa, outside of its previously reported and predicted niche. We assembled location data on all recorded zoonotic

The spatial epidemiology of pediatric trauma [PDF]

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2017
Despite significant advances in the prevention and treatment of pediatric trauma, preventable injuries continue to burden the lives of millions of children. To target prevention strategies, it is critical to identify areas with high burdens of pediatric trauma.

Spatial evolutionary epidemiology of spreading epidemics [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Most spatial models of host–parasite interactions either neglect the possibility of pathogen evolution or consider that this process is slow enough for epidemiological dynamics to reach an equilibrium on a fast timescale. Here, we propose a novel approach to jointly model the epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of spatially structured host and ...
