Switchover phenomenon induced by epidemic seeding on geometric networks

It is a fundamental question in disease modeling how the initial seeding of an epidemic, spreading over a network, determines its final outcome. One important goal has been to find the seed configuration, which infects the most individuals. Although the id ...

Conditions for transient epidemics of waterborne disease in spatially explicit systems

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Waterborne diseases are a diverse family of infections transmitted through ingestion of-or contact with-water infested with pathogens. Outbreaks of waterborne infections often show well-defined spatial signatures that are typically linked to local eco-epid ...

Preventive chemotherapy to control soil-transmitted helminthiasis averted more than 500 000 DALYs in 2015

Background: Preventive chemotherapy (PC), the large-scale administration of anthelminthics, is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH). Since 2010, donated anthelminthics for STH have boost ...

An ecological and digital epidemiology analysis on the role of human behavior on the 2014 Chikungunya outbreak in Martinique

Marcel Salathé

Understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of endemic infections is of critical importance for a deeper understanding of pathogen transmission, and for the design of more efficient public health strategies. However, very few studies in this domain have foc ...

Heterogeneity in schistosomiasis transmission dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Marino Gatto

Simple models of disease propagation often disregard the effects of transmission heterogeneity on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics associated with host-parasite interactions. However, for some diseases like schistosomiasis, a widespread parasiti ...

Seasonality in cholera dynamics: A rainfall-driven model explains the wide range of patterns in endemic areas

Enrico Bertuzzo, Theo Baracchini

Seasonal patterns in cholera dynamics exhibit pronounced variability across geographical regions, showing single or multiple peaks at different times of the year. Although multiple hypotheses related to local climate variables have been proposed, an unders ...

The temporal patterns of disease severity and prevalence in schistosomiasis

Andrea Rinaldo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread public health problems in the world. In this work, we introduce an eco-epidemiological model for its transmission and dynamics with the purpose of explaining both intra-and inter-annual fluctuations of disease ...

Hydrological, Anthropogenic and Ecological Processes in Cholera Dynamics

Lorenzo Righetto

The present Thesis deals with understanding, measuring and modelling epidemic cholera. The relevance of the endeavour stems from the fact that mathematical epidemiology, properly guided by model-guided field validation, is a reliable and powerful tool to m ...
