Shifts in seasonal timing of respiratory diseases and causes of death following a natural pandemic event
Seasonal respiratory infections typically surge within a limited time window, but what determines the exact timing within a given year is not well understood. Major causes of death show a similar seasonal pattern, but whether this pattern is linked to respiratory infections is unclear. The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to dramatic changes in the transmission dynamics of many respiratory pathogens, providing a unique opportunity …
Modeling the dynamics of seasonal influenza in response to meteorological conditions and antigenic variation
Seasonal influenza annually creates a serious burden for people worldwide. The influenza surveillance system in China primarily indicates the intensity of the influenza epidemic trend, but it cannot provide accurate forecasts and early warnings. Meteorological conditions and antigenic variation rarely participated in optimizing the influenza model, which not only limits the simulation and prediction of influenza trends but also the development of…
Modeling the spatiotemporal transmission of Covid-19 epidemic by coupling the heterogeneous impact of detection rates
The impact of the 2022 spring Covid-19 booster vaccination programme on hospital occupancy in England
Regular booster vaccination programmes help protect the most vulnerable from COVID-19 and limit pressure on health systems. Existing studies find booster doses to be effective in preventing hospital admissions and deaths but focus on individual effects, failing to consider the population impact of incomplete vaccination coverage and seasonal patterns in disease transmission. We estimated the effectiveness of the 2022 spring booster vaccination pr…
Spatial pattern assessment of dengue fever risk in subtropical urban environments
Meeting the 2030 END TB goals in the wake of Covid-19
Progress towards the 2030 End TB goals has seen severe setbacks due to disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. For governments and international partner organizations supporting the global TB response, there is a need to assess what level of effort is now needed to reach these goals. Using mathematical modelling, we addressed this question for the countries being supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).…
Impact of early phase Covid-19 precautionary behaviors on seasonal influenza in Hong Kong
Background Before major non-pharmaceutical interventions were implemented, seasonal incidence of influenza in Hong Kong showed a rapid and unexpected reduction immediately following the early spread of COVID-19 in mainland China in January 2020. This decline was presumably associated with precautionary behavioral changes (e.g., wearing face masks and avoiding crowded places). Knowing their effectiveness on the transmissibility of seasonal influen…
Prediction of dengue annual incidence using seasonal climate variability in Bangladesh between 2000 and 2018
The incidence of dengue has increased rapidly in Bangladesh since 2010 with an outbreak in 2018 reaching a historically high number of cases, 10,148. A better understanding of the effects of climate variability before dengue season on the increasing incidence of dengue in Bangladesh can enable early warning of future outbreaks. We developed a generalized linear model to predict the number of annual dengue cases based on monthly minimum temperatur…
Equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines makes a life-saving difference to all countries
Despite broad agreement on the negative consequences of vaccine inequity, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines is imbalanced. Access to vaccines in high-income countries (HICs) is far greater than in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As a result, there continue to be high rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths in LMICs. In addition, recent mutant COVID-19 outbreaks may counteract advances in epidemic control and economic recovery in HIC…
Modeling Covid-19 Transmission Dynamics With Self-Learning Population Behavioral Change
Many regions observed recurrent outbreaks of COVID-19 cases after relaxing social distancing measures. It suggests that maintaining sufficient social distancing is important for limiting the spread of COVID-19. The change of population behavior responding to the social distancing measures becomes an important factor for the pandemic prediction. In this paper, we develop a SEAIR model for studying the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission with populat…
Health-Promoting Behaviors, Risk Perceptions, and Attention to Covid-19-Related Information
Background: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals have been encouraged to engage in health-promoting behaviors, namely actions taken to prevent infection and keep themselves healthy, such as maintaining social distancing. However, other factors, such as risk perception and feelings of fear, also might influence whether an individual takes such measures. This study compared people's responses to the pandemic in terms of their adopt…
Reopening International Borders without Quarantine
With the COVID-19 vaccination widely implemented in most countries, propelled by the need to revive the tourism economy, there is a growing prospect for relieving the social distancing regulation and reopening borders in tourism-oriented countries and regions. This need incentivizes stakeholders to develop border control strategies that fully evaluate health risks if mandatory quarantines are lifted. In this study, we have employed a computationa…
