Phylodynamics of infectious disease epidemics.
We present a formalism for unifying the inference of population size from genetic sequences and mathematical models of infectious disease in populations. Virus phylogenies have been used in many recent studies to infer properties of epidemics. These approaches rely on coalescent models that may not be appropriate for infectious diseases. We account for phylogenetic patterns of viruses in suscep...
متن کاملRussia's drug policy fuels infectious disease epidemics.
On Feb 3, 2012, the Russian Government blocked the website of the Andrey Rylkov Foundation for Health and Social Justice. The reason, according to the Federal Drugs Control Service, was the website’s “placement of materials that propagandize (advertise) the use of drugs, information about distribution, purchasing of drugs and inciting the use of drugs”. The drug in question was methadone, which...
متن کاملPrediction of infectious disease epidemics via weighted density ensembles
Accurate and reliable predictions of infectious disease dynamics can be valuable to public health organizations that plan interventions to decrease or prevent disease transmission. A great variety of models have been developed for this task, using different model structures, covariates, and targets for prediction. Experience has shown that the performance of these models varies; some tend to do...
متن کاملApplying Knowledge Discovery to Predict Infectious Disease Epidemics
Predictive modelling, in a knowledge discovery context, is regarded as the problem of deriving predictive knowledge from historical/temporal data. Here we argue that neural networks, an established computational technology, can efficaciously be used to perform predictive modelling, i.e. to explore the intrinsic dynamics of temporal data. Infectious-disease epidemic risk management is a candidat...
