Inferring Disease Contact Networks from Genetic Data
The analysis of genetic sequence data collected during disease outbreaks has emerged as a promising new tool for understanding infectious disease dynamics and designing control measures against infectious diseases. Hence, there is a need for statistical methodologies that effectively integrate genetic data with other epidemiological data to perform inference on the underlying disease dynamics. ...
متن کاملInferring population-level contact heterogeneity from common epidemic data
Models of infectious disease spread that incorporate contact heterogeneity through contact networks are an important tool for epidemiologists studying disease dynamics and assessing intervention strategies. One of the challenges of contact network epidemiology has been the difficulty of collecting individual and population-level data needed to develop an accurate representation of the underlyin...
متن کاملEpidemics with general generation interval distributions.
We study the spread of susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) infectious diseases where an individual's infectiousness and probability of recovery depend on his/her "age" of infection. We focus first on early outbreak stages when stochastic effects dominate and show that epidemics tend to happen faster than deterministic calculations predict. If an outbreak is sufficiently large, stochastic effec...
متن کاملInferring Epidemic Contact Structure from Phylogenetic Trees
Contact structure is believed to have a large impact on epidemic spreading and consequently using networks to model such contact structure continues to gain interest in epidemiology. However, detailed knowledge of the exact contact structure underlying real epidemics is limited. Here we address the question whether the structure of the contact network leaves a detectable genetic fingerprint in ...
متن کاملA contact-tracing procedure.
The increase in the number of new cases of gonorrhoea and the apparent expansion of the reservoir of carriers of the disease have directed attention to the need for reviewing contact-tracing techniques. To obtain the opinions of others on this subject, a *questionnaire was sent to the physicians-in-charge of 205 special treatment centres in England in April 1962. From the replies received, it w...
