Key challenges for the surveillance of respiratory viruses: transitioning out of the acute phase of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
Oliver Eales, Michael J. Plank, Benjamin J. Cowling +8
To support the ongoing management of viral respiratory diseases, many countries are moving towards an integrated model of surveillance for SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and other respirat…
On the relative role of different age groups during epidemics associated with the respiratory syncytial virus
Edward Goldstein, Hieu H. Nguyen, Patrick Liu +4
Background: While RSV circulation results in high burden of hospitalization, particularly among infants, young children and the elderly, little is known about the role of different…
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…
A generalized-growth model to characterize the early ascending phase of infectious disease outbreaks
Cécile Viboud, Lone Simonsen, Gerardo Chowell
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-gro…
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…
