A hybrid gravity and route choice model to assess vector traffic in large-scale road networks
Download2020-01-01
S. M. Fischer, M. Beck, L.-M. Herborg, M. A. Lewis
Human traffic along roads can be a major vector for infectious diseases and invasive species. Though most road traffic is local, a small number of long-distance trips can suffice to move an invasion or disease front forward. Therefore, understanding how many agents travel over long distances and...

An early warning indicator trained on stochastic disease-spreading models with different noises
Download2024-08-09
Chakraborty, Amit K., Gao. Shan, Miry, Reza, Ramazi, Pouria, Greiner, Russell, Lewis, Mark A., Wang, Hao
Abstract (description taken from article) The timely detection of disease outbreaks through reliable early warning signals (EWSs) is indispensable for effective public health mitigation strategies. Nevertheless, the intricate dynamics of real-world disease spread, often influenced by diverse...

Discrete Inverse Method for Extracting Disease Transmission Rates from Accessible Infection Data
Download2024-06-01
Abstract (description taken from this, pre-print version of the article) Accurate estimation of the transmissibility of an infectious disease is critical to understanding disease transmission dynamics and designing effective control strategies. However, it has always been difficult to estimate...
