This study evaluates synthetic graph generators for rabies transmission modeling, finding that the degree-corrected stochastic block model best reproduces empirical contact networks and outbreak dynamics for short-infectious-window pathogens.

This study shows that adaptive immunity imposes a survival-reproduction tradeoff on malaria parasites, limiting their ability to evolve faster within-host multiplication.

The paper develops a Bayesian inference method to assess personal and community protection of vector-control interventions using semi-field experimental data.
