Keep calm and carry on vaccinating: Is anti-vaccination sentiment contributing to declining vaccine coverage in England?

Marcel Salathé, Martin Müller

Background: In England, coverage for childhood vaccines have decreased since 2012/13 in the context of an increasingly visible anti-vaccination discourse. We determined whether anti-vaccination sentiment is the likely cause of this decline in coverage. Met ...

Contact networks across ages: computational analysis of epidemiological dynamics

Gianrocco Lazzari

For decades mathematical modeling in epidemiology has helped understanding the dynamics of infectious diseases, as well as describe possible intervention scenarios to prevent and control them. However, such models were relying on several assumptions, such ...

Toward Nanotechnology-Enabled Approaches against the COVID-19 Pandemic

Francesco Stellacci

The COVID-19 outbreak has fueled a global demand for effective diagnosis and treatment as well as mitigation of the spread of infection, all through large-scale approaches such as specific alternative antiviral methods and classical disinfection protocols. ...

Nanotechnology-based disinfectants and sensors for SARS-CoV-2

Francesco Stellacci

Nanotechnology-based antimicrobial and antiviral formulations can prevent SARS-CoV-2 viral dissemination, and highly sensitive biosensors and detection platforms may contribute to the detection and diagnosis of COVID-19. ...

Interplay between cost and benefits triggers nontrivial vaccination uptake

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo

The containment of epidemic spreading is a major challenge in science. Vaccination, whenever available, is the best way to prevent the spreading, because it eventually immunizes individuals. However, vaccines are not perfect, and total immunization is not ...

Critical dynamics in population vaccinating behavior

Marcel Salathé, Sharada Prasanna Mohanty

Vaccine refusal can lead to renewed outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases and even delay global eradication. Vaccinating decisions exemplify a complex, coupled system where vaccinating behavior and disease dynamics influence one another. Such systems ...
