Structural causal influence (SCI) captures the forces of social inequality in models of disease dynamics
Sudam Surasinghe, Swathi Nachiar Manivannan, Samuel V. Scarpino +2
Mathematical modeling has played a central role in understanding how infectious disease transmission manifests in populations. These models have demonstrated the importance of key…

Optimal virulence strategies in epidemiological models with asymptomatic transmission
C. Brandon Ogbunugafor, Sudam Surasinghe
Asymptomatic infection has gained notoriety as an important feature of infectious disease dynamics. Despite increasing attention, there have been few rigorous examinations of how a…
