Characterizing the reproduction number of epidemics with early sub-exponential growth dynamics
Gerardo Chowell, Cécile Viboud, Lone Simonsen +1
Early estimates of the transmission potential of emerging and re-emerging infections are increasingly used to inform public health authorities on the level of risk posed by outbrea…
Avoidable errors in the modeling of outbreaks of emerging pathogens, with special reference to Ebola
Aaron A. King, Matthieu Domenech de Cellès, Felicia M. G. Magpantay +1
As an emergent infectious disease outbreak unfolds, public health response is reliant on information on key epidemiological quantities, such as transmission potential and serial in…
The Western Africa Ebola virus disease epidemic exhibits both global exponential and local polynomial growth rates
Gerardo Chowell, Cécile Viboud, James M. Hyman +1
Background: While many infectious disease epidemics are initially characterized by an exponential growth in time, we show that district-level Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks in…
Epidemic reconstruction in a phylogenetics framework: transmission trees as partitions
Matthew Hall, Andrew Rambaut
The reconstruction of transmission trees for epidemics from genetic data has been the subject of some recent interest. It has been demonstrated that the transmission tree structure…
Inferring Heterogeneous Evolutionary Processes Through Time: from sequence substitution to phylogeography
Filip Bielejec, Philippe Lemey, Guy Baele +2
Molecular phylogenetic and phylogeographic reconstructions generally assume time-homogeneous substitution processes. Motivated by computational convenience, this assumption sacrifi…
Increasing Herd Immunity with Influenza Revaccination
Eric Mooring, Shweta Bansal
Seasonal influenza is a significant public health concern in the United States and globally. While influenza vaccines are the single most effective intervention to reduce influenza…
