Generalized contact matrices for epidemic modeling
Adriana Manna, Lorenzo Dall'Amico, Michele Tizzoni +2
Contact matrices have become a key ingredient of modern epidemic models. They account for the stratification of contacts for the age of individuals and, in some cases, the context…
The limits of human mobility traces to predict the spread of COVID-19
Federico Delussu, Michele Tizzoni, Laetitia Gauvin
Mobile phone data have been widely used to model the spread of COVID-19, however, quantifying and comparing their predictive value across different settings is challenging. Their q…
Modeling adaptive forward-looking behavior in epidemics on networks
Lorenzo Amir Nemati Fard, Alberto Bisin, Michele Starnini +1
Incorporating decision-making dynamics during an outbreak poses a challenge for epidemiology, faced by several modeling approaches siloed by different disciplines. We propose an ep…
Estimating household contact matrices structure from easily collectable metadata
Lorenzo Dall'Amico, Jackie Kleynhans, Laetitia Gauvin +9
Contact matrices are a commonly adopted data representation, used to develop compartmental models for epidemic spreading, accounting for the contact heterogeneities across age grou…
Gender gaps in urban mobility
Laetitia Gauvin, Michele Tizzoni, Simone Piaggesi +5
The use of public transportation or simply moving about in streets are gendered issues. Women and girls often engage in multi-purpose, multi-stop trips in order to do household cho…
Wearable proximity sensors for monitoring a mass casualty incident exercise: a feasibility study
Laura Ozella, Laetitia Gauvin, Luca Carenzo +9
Over the past several decades, naturally occurring and man-made mass casualty incidents (MCI) have increased in frequency and number, worldwide. To test the impact of such event on…
The Scaling of Human Contacts in Reaction-Diffusion Processes on Heterogeneous Metapopulation Networks
Michele Tizzoni, Kaiyuan Sun, Diego Benusiglio +2
We present new empirical evidence, based on millions of interactions on Twitter, confirming that human contacts scale with population sizes. We integrate such observations into a r…
Human mobility and time spent at destination: Impact on spatial epidemic spreading
Chiara Poletto, Michele Tizzoni, Vittoria Colizza
Host mobility plays a fundamental role in the spatial spread of infectious diseases. Previous theoretical works based on the integration of network theory into the metapopulation f…
Heterogeneous length of stay of hosts' movements and spatial epidemic spread
Chiara Poletto, Michele Tizzoni, Vittoria Colizza
Infectious diseases outbreaks are often characterized by a spatial component induced by hosts' distribution, mobility, and interactions. Spatial models that incorporate hosts' move…
