Identifiability in epidemic models with prior immunity and under-reporting
Fanny Bergström, Martina Favero, Tom Britton
Identifiability is the property in mathematical modelling that determines if model parameters can be uniquely estimated from data. For infectious disease models, failure to ensure…
Improving the use of social contact studies in epidemic modelling
Tom Britton, Frank Ball
Social contact studies, investigating social contact patterns in a population sample, have been an important contribution for epidemic models to better fit real life epidemics. A c…
An SEIR network epidemic model with manual and digital contact tracing allowing delays
Dongni Zhang, Tom Britton
We consider an SEIR epidemic model on a network also allowing random contacts, where recovered individuals could either recover naturally or be diagnosed. Upon diagnosis, manual co…
SIRS epidemics with individual heterogeneity of immunity waning
Mohamed El Khalifi, Tom Britton
We analyse an extended SIRS epidemic model in which immunity at the individual level wanes gradually at exponential rate, but where the waning rate may differ between individuals,…
Extending SIRS epidemics to allow for gradual waning of immunity
Mohamed El Khalifi, Tom Britton
SIRS epidemic models assume that individual immunity (from infection and vaccination) wanes in one big leap, from complete immunity to complete susceptibility. For many diseases im…
Epidemic models with digital and manual contact tracing
Tom Britton, Dongni Zhang
We analyze a Markovian SIR epidemic model where individuals either recover naturally or are diagnosed, leading to isolation and potential contact tracing. Our focus is on digital c…
