Infectious disease spread in connected communities
Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...
EPFL2024Spatially explicit effective reproduction numbers from incidence and mobility data
Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto, Marino Gatto
Current methods for near real-time estimation of effective reproduction numbers from surveillance data overlook mobility fluxes of infectors and susceptible individuals within a spatially connected network (the metapopulation). Exchanges of infections amon ...
2023Stay close, but not too close: aerial image analysis reveals patterns of social distancing in seal colonies
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger
Many species aggregate in dense colonies. Species-specific spatial patterns provide clues about how colonies are shaped by various (a)biotic factors, including predation, temperature regulation or disease transmission. Using aerial imagery, we examined the ...
2023Epidemicity of cholera spread and the fate of infection control measures
Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre, Marino Gatto
The fate of ongoing infectious disease outbreaks is predicted through reproduction numbers, defining the long-term establishment of the infection, and epidemicity indices, tackling the reactivity of the infectious pool to new contagions. Prognostic metrics ...
2022Specchio-COVID19 cohort study: a longitudinal follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 serosurvey participants in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland
Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has affected billions of people around the world both directly through the infection itself and indirectly through its economic, social and sanitary impact. Collecting data over time is essential for the understanding of ...
BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP2022Monocyte-derived macrophages aggravate pulmonary vasculitis via cGAS/STING/IFN-mediated nucleic acid sensing
Kessler et al. identify aberrant DNA recognition by cGAS/STING and IFN-I production by inflammatory macrophages as a driver of severe ANCA-associated vasculitis. Pharmacological interventions blocking this pathway ameliorate disease and accelerate recovery ...
ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS2022Antiviral Screen against Canine Distemper Virus-Induced Membrane Fusion Activity
Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Jonathan Patrice Vesin
Canine distemper virus (CDV), a close relative of the human pathogen measles virus (MeV), is an enveloped, negative sense RNA virus that belongs to the genus Morbillivirus and causes severe diseases in dogs and other carnivores. Although the vaccination i ...
2021Modeling infectious disease dynamics towards informed public health interventions, with applications on COVID-19 and cholera
Emerging and existing infectious diseases pose a constant threat to individuals and communities across the world. In many cases, the burden of these diseases is preventable through public health interventions. However, taking the right decisions and design ...
EPFL2021Assessing the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Switzerland
Following the rapid dissemination of COVID-19 cases in Switzerland, large-scale non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were implemented by the cantons and the federal government between 28 February and 20 March 2020. Estimates of the impact of these inter ...
E M H SWISS MEDICAL PUBLISHERS LTD2020Retention of E. coli and water on the skin after liquid contact
The frequent contact people have with liquids containing pathogenic microorganisms provides opportunities for disease transmission. In this work, we quantified the transfer of bacteria—using E. coli as a model- from liquid to skin, estimated liquid retenti ...
