Multi-scale phylodynamic modelling of rapid punctuated pathogen evolution
Quang Dang Nguyen, Sheryl L. Chang, Carl J. E. Suster +4
Computational multi-scale pandemic modelling remains a major and timely challenge. Here we identify specific requirements for a new class of models simulating pandemics across thre…
Impact of opinion dynamics on recurrent pandemic waves: balancing risk aversion and peer pressure
Sheryl L. Chang, Quang Dang Nguyen, Carl J. E. Suster +6
Recurrent waves which are often observed during long pandemics typically form as a result of several interrelated dynamics including public health interventions, population mobilit…
Measuring unequal distribution of pandemic severity across census years, variants of concern and interventions
Quang Dang Nguyen, Sheryl L. Chang, Christina M. Jamerlan +1
Diverse and complex intervention policies deployed over the last years have shown varied effectiveness in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a systematic analysis and mode…
Persistence of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Australia: The impact of fluctuating social distancing
Sheryl L. Chang, Quang Dang Nguyen, Alexandra Martiniuk +3
We modelled emergence and spread of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Australia between December 2021 and June 2022. This pandemic stage exhibited a diverse epidemiological prof…
Genome-wide networks reveal emergence of epidemic strains of Salmonella Enteritidis
Adam J. Svahn, Sheryl L. Chang, Rebecca J. Rockett +7
Objectives: To enhance monitoring of high-burden foodborne pathogens, there is opportunity to combine pangenome data with network analysis. Methods: Salmonella enterica subspecies…
The effects of local homogeneity assumptions in metapopulation models of infectious disease
Cameron Zachreson, Sheryl Chang, Nathan Harding +1
Computational models of infectious disease can be broadly categorized into two types: individual-based (Agent-based), or compartmental models. While compartmental models can be str…
Simulating transmission scenarios of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Australia
Sheryl L. Chang, Oliver M. Cliff, Cameron Zachreson +1
An outbreak of the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant of SARS-CoV-2 that began around mid-June 2021 in Sydney, Australia, quickly developed into a nation-wide epidemic. The ongoing epidemic…
How will mass-vaccination change COVID-19 lockdown requirements in Australia?
Cameron Zachreson, Sheryl L. Chang, Oliver M. Cliff +1
Background: To prevent future outbreaks of COVID-19, Australia is pursuing a mass-vaccination approach in which a targeted group of the population comprising healthcare workers, ag…
Modelling transmission and control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia
Sheryl L. Chang, Nathan Harding, Cameron Zachreson +2
There is a continuing debate on relative benefits of various mitigation and suppression strategies aimed to control the spread of COVID-19. Here we report the results of agent-base…
Impact of network assortativity on epidemic and vaccination behaviour
Sheryl L. Chang, Mahendra Piraveenan, Mikhail Prokopenko
The resurgence of measles is largely attributed to the decline in vaccine adoption and the increase in mobility. Although the vaccine for measles is readily available and highly su…
The effects of imitation dynamics on vaccination behaviours in SIR-network model
Sheryl L. Chang, Mahendra Piraveenan, Mikhail Prokopenko
We present a series of SIR-network models, extended with a game-theoretic treatment of imitation dynamics which result from regular population mobility across residential and work…
Game theoretic modelling of infectious disease dynamics and intervention methods: a mini-review
Sheryl L. Chang, Mahendra Piraveenan, Philippa Pattison +1
We review research papers which use game theory to model the decision making of individuals during an epidemic, attempting to classify the literature and identify the emerging tren…
