A monotonic relationship between the variability of the infectious period and final size in pairwise epidemic modelling
Zsolt Vizi, István Z. Kiss, Joel C. Miller +1
For a recently derived pairwise model of network epidemics with non-Markovian recovery, we prove that under some mild technical conditions on the distribution of the infectious per…
Identifying spatiotemporal dynamics of Ebola in Sierra Leone using virus genomes
Kyle B. Gustafson, Joshua L. Proctor
Containing the recent West African outbreak of Ebola virus (EBOV) required the deployment of substantial global resources. Operationally, health workers and surveillance teams trea…
Saturation Effects and the Concurrency Hypothesis: Insights from an Analytic Model
Joel C. Miller, Anja C. Slim
Sexual partnerships that overlap in time (concurrent relationships) may play a significant role in the HIV epidemic, but the precise effect is unclear. We derive edge-based compart…
Malaria elimination campaigns in the Lake Kariba region of Zambia: a spatial dynamical model
Milen Nikolov, Caitlin A. Bever, Alexander Upfill-Brown +5
Background As more regions approach malaria elimination, understanding how different interventions interact to reduce transmission becomes critical. The Lake Kariba area of Souther…
Optimal population-level infection detection strategies for malaria control and elimination in a spatial model of malaria transmission
Jaline Gerardin, Caitlin A. Bever, Busiku Hamainza +3
Mass campaigns with antimalarial drugs are potentially a powerful tool for local elimination of malaria, yet current diagnostic technologies are insufficiently sensitive to identif…
Has wild poliovirus been eliminated from Nigeria?
Michael Famulare
Wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3) has not been seen anywhere since the last case of WPV3-associated paralysis in Nigeria in November 2012. At the time of writing, the most recent case…
