Spatial spread of the West Africa Ebola epidemic
Controlling Ebola outbreaks and planning an effective response to future emerging diseases are enhanced by understanding the role of geography in transmission. Here we show how epidemic expansion may be predicted by evaluating the relative probability of alternative epidemic paths. We compared multiple candidate models to characterize the spatial network over which the 2013-2015 West Africa epi...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of the West Africa Ebola epidemic
As of November 2015, the Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic that began in West Africa in late 2013 is waning. The human toll includes more than 28,000 EVD cases and 11,000 deaths in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the most heavily-affected countries. We reviewed 66 mathematical modeling studies of the EVD epidemic published in the peer-reviewed literature to assess the key uncertainties mode...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Analysis of the 2014 Ebola Epidemic in West Africa
In 2014-2016, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia in West Africa experienced the largest and longest Ebola epidemic since the discovery of the virus in 1976. During the epidemic, incidence data were collected and published at increasing resolution. To monitor the epidemic as it spread within and between districts, we develop an analysis method that exploits the full spatiotemporal resolution of th...

Sr. Editor. La epidemia de enfermedad por virus del Ébola que comenzó en diciembre de 2013, en la región occidental del África, es la número 25 que ha sufrido ese continente, y aunque muchas le han precedido, ninguna se le compara en magnitud y extensión: si comparamos los más de 26 000 casos de ébola ocurridos en estos 11 meses con los 425 casos registrados en el 2000 –cuando ocurrió la que er...
متن کاملCorrection: Evaluating Subcriticality during the Ebola Epidemic in West Africa
The 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak is the largest and most widespread to date. In order to estimate ongoing transmission in the affected countries, we estimated the weekly average number of secondary cases caused by one individual infected with Ebola throughout the infectious period for each affected West African country using a stochastic hidden Markov model fitted to case data from the World Health...
