Persistence-infectivity trade-offs in environmentally transmitted pathogens change population-level disease dynamics
Andrew F. Brouwer, Marisa C. Eisenberg, Nancy G. Love +1
Human pathogens transmitted through environmental pathways are subject to stress and pressures outside of the host. These pressures may cause pathogen pathovars to diverge in their…
Changing Burial Practices Explain Temporal Trends in the 2014 Ebola Outbreak
Michael A. L. Hayashi, Marisa C. Eisenberg
Background: The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the largest on record, resulting in over 25,000 total infections and 15,000 total deaths. Mathematical modeling can be used t…
Model distinguishability and inference robustness in mechanisms of cholera transmission and loss of immunity
Elizabeth C. Lee, Michael R. Kelly, Brad M. Ochocki +4
Mathematical models of cholera and waterborne disease vary widely in their structures, in terms of transmission pathways, loss of immunity, and other features. These differences ma…
Modeling Spatial Invasion of Ebola in West Africa
Jeremy P D'Silva, Marisa C. Eisenberg
The 2014-2015 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemic in West Africa was the largest ever recorded, representing a fundamental shift in Ebola epidemiology with unprecedented spatiotempo…
Effects of adaptive protective behavior on the dynamics of sexually transmitted infections
Michael A. L. Hayashi, Marisa C. Eisenberg
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to present a complex and costly challenge to public health programs. The preferences and social dynamics of a population can have a…
Forecasting and Uncertainty in Modeling the 2014-2015 Ebola Epidemic in West Africa
Marisa C. Eisenberg, Joseph N. S. Eisenberg, Jeremy P. D'Silva +4
The Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest ever recorded, with over 27,000 cases and 11,000 deaths as of June 2015. The public health response was challenged by difficulties…
