Five challenges for stochastic epidemic models involving global transmission
The most basic stochastic epidemic models are those involving global transmission, meaning that infection rates depend only on the type and state of the individuals involved, and not on their location in the population. Simple as they are, there are still several open problems for such models. For example, when will such an epidemic go extinct and with what probability (questions depending on t...
متن کاملFive challenges for spatial epidemic models
Infectious disease incidence data are increasingly available at the level of the individual and include high-resolution spatial components. Therefore, we are now better able to challenge models that explicitly represent space. Here, we consider five topics within spatial disease dynamics: the construction of network models; characterising threshold behaviour; modelling long-distance interaction...
متن کاملStochastic Epidemic Models
The present work concerns models of epidemic which are described by differential and stochastic differential equations. The theorems on the existence, uniqueness and properties of their solutions are stated. Introduction In nature, there are many diseases which can cause epidemics. Therefore it is useful to model the behavior of these diseases in order to control their progression. In this pape...
متن کاملEight challenges for network epidemic models.
Networks offer a fertile framework for studying the spread of infection in human and animal populations. However, owing to the inherent high-dimensionality of networks themselves, modelling transmission through networks is mathematically and computationally challenging. Even the simplest network epidemic models present unanswered questions. Attempts to improve the practical usefulness of networ...
متن کاملEvidence synthesis for stochastic epidemic models
In recent years the role of epidemic models in informing public health policies has progressively grown. Models have become increasingly realistic and more complex, requiring the use of multiple data sources to estimate all quantities of interest. This review summarises the different types of stochastic epidemic models that use evidence synthesis and highlights current challenges.
