A household epidemic of tropical sprue.
Tropical sprue has been described as occurring in both endemic and epidemic forms (Walters, 1947; Ayrey, 1948; Stefanini, 1948; Baker, 1957; Baker, Mathan, and Joseph, 1962). Bahr (1915) mentions 'sprue houses' where successive tenants were attacked with sprue, and records several cases occurring among members of one family. This paper presents epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data on a...
متن کاملSynergistic cumulative contagion in epidemic spreading
Most epidemic spreading models assume memoryless agents and independent transmissions along different infection channels. Nevertheless, many real-life cases are manifestly time-sensitive and show strong correlations. Although some recent research efforts have analyzed the effects of memory and others have explored synergistic contagion schemes, both topics are rarely combined. We develop a micr...
متن کاملA household SIR epidemic model incorporating time of day effects
During the course of a day an individual typically mixes with different groups of individuals. Epidemic models incorporating population structure with individuals being able to infect different groups of individuals have received extensive attention in the literature. However, almost exclusively the models assume that individuals are able to simultaneously infect members of all groups, whereas ...
متن کاملDeterministic epidemic models with explicit household structure.
For a wide range of airborne infectious diseases, transmission within the family or household is a key mechanism for the spread and persistence of infection. In general, household-based transmission is relatively strong but only involves a limited number of individuals in contact with each infectious person. In contrast, transmission outside the household can be characterised by many contacts b...
متن کاملHousehold epidemic models with varying infection response.
This paper is concerned with SIR (susceptible → infected → removed) household epidemic models in which the infection response may be either mild or severe, with the type of response also affecting the infectiousness of an individual. Two different models are analysed. In the first model, the infection status of an individual is predetermined, perhaps due to partial immunity, and in the second, ...
