Stochastic dynamics of cholera epidemics.
We describe the predictions of an analytically tractable stochastic model for cholera epidemics following a single initial outbreak. The exact model relies on a set of assumptions that may restrict the generality of the approach and yet provides a realm of powerful tools and results. Without resorting to the depletion of susceptible individuals, as usually assumed in deterministic susceptible-i...
متن کاملMitigating the future impact of Cholera Epidemics
Cholera epidemics have been analysed using epidemiological models that depend on humanto-environment-to-human spread of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae bacteria (Koelle et al. 2004, Koelle et al. 2005). Within such a framework the vulnerable human population is the key driving variable, and mitigation of cholera outbreaks lies in both the human-to-environment domain (sanitation) and in the environmen...
متن کاملThe final catastrophe-- cholera in London, 1866.
IN 1866 PANDEMIC CHOLERA attacked Britain for the fourth and final time in an epidemic which struck with extreme ferocity in the East End of London, killing very nearly four thousand people there between the end of July and the beginning of November.2 The epidemic has not yet received detailed attention either from social historians or in the literature of the history of medicine. It is, howeve...
متن کاملOn spatially explicit models of cholera epidemics.
We generalize a recently proposed model for cholera epidemics that accounts for local communities of susceptibles and infectives in a spatially explicit arrangement of nodes linked by networks having different topologies. The vehicle of infection (Vibrio cholerae) is transported through the network links that are thought of as hydrological connections among susceptible communities. The mathemat...
متن کاملEnvironmental signatures associated with cholera epidemics.
The causative agent of cholera, Vibrio cholerae, has been shown to be autochthonous to riverine, estuarine, and coastal waters along with its host, the copepod, a significant member of the zooplankton community. Temperature, salinity, rainfall and plankton have proven to be important factors in the ecology of V. cholerae, influencing the transmission of the disease in those regions of the world...
