DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4664
Abstract: Abstract Population structure is critical to infectious disease transmission. As a result, theoretical and empirical contact network models of infectious disease spread are increasingly providing valuable insights into wildlife epidemiology. Analyzing an exceptionally detailed dataset… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-017-1199-1
Abstract: In this paper, the global dynamics of a periodic disease transmission model with two delays in incubation and asymptomatic carriage periods is investigated. We first derive the model system with a general nonlinear incidence rate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-020-00526-7
Abstract: The degree of relatedness and an interacting unifying central member can exacerbate disease transmission within a social group. The severity of the disease depends on the route, dose and frequency of infection. Group-living social mammals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epidem.2021.100503
Abstract: PCR testing is a crucial capability for managing disease outbreaks, but it is also a limited resource and must be used carefully to ensure the information gain from testing is valuable. Testing has two broad… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.scs.2021.103175
Abstract: During the normalized phase of COVID-19, droplets or aerosol particles produced by infected personnel are considered as the potential source of infection with uncertain exposure risk. As such, in densely populated open spaces, it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.2c08503
Abstract: Aerosol transmission has played a leading role in COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is still a poor understanding about how it is transmitted. This work was designed to study the exhaled breath flow dynamics and transmission… read more here.

Methods for estimating disease transmission rates: Evaluating the precision of Poisson regression and two novel methods
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-09209-x
Abstract: Precise estimates of disease transmission rates are critical for epidemiological simulation models. Most often these rates must be estimated from longitudinal field data, which are costly and time-consuming to conduct. Consequently, measures to reduce cost… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wr17042
Abstract: Abstract Context. Contact rates are a key determinant of disease transmission. Territorial behaviour has generally been considered to limit contact between European rabbits occupying different warrens, particularly during the breeding season. Aims. We investigated warren… read more here.
