Linear and Machine Learning modelling for spatiotemporal disease predictions: Force-of-Infection of Chagas disease
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010594
Abstract: Background Chagas disease is a long-lasting disease with a prolonged asymptomatic period. Cumulative indices of infection such as prevalence do not shed light on the current epidemiological situation, as they integrate infection over long periods.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2701.191650
Abstract: Because of limited data on dengue virus in Burkina Faso, we conducted 4 consecutive age-stratified longitudinal serologic surveys, ≈6 months apart, among persons 1–55 years of age, during June 2015–March 2017, which included a 2016… read more here.
