The paper evaluates control measures for avian influenza outbreaks using a spatial transmission model, showing that intervention effectiveness varies with outbreak stage and policy objectives.

The paper models how demographic changes and behavioural adaptations affect the risk of infectious disease outbreaks in aging populations.

This study develops a seasonal transmission model to determine when it is safe to relax interventions at the end of an outbreak, showing that incorporating seasonality allows for earlier intervention relaxation.

This study models the impact of control measures on HPAI H5N1 transmission in poultry in Great Britain, finding that enhanced biosecurity and vaccination can reduce infected premises.

This paper quantifies the sensitivity and specificity of visual plant health surveys using citizen scientists and Bayesian modeling to estimate these metrics without a gold-standard dataset.

This study identifies 43 genes associated with invasive pneumococcal disease using whole genome sequence data and a random forest machine-learning algorithm across three geographically distinct datasets.
