  • Infectious disease surveillance needs for the United States

    Open AccessMarc Lipsitch, Mary T Bassett et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to upgrade systems for infectious disease surveillance and forecasting and modeling of the spread of infection, both of which inform evidence-based public health guidance and policies. Here, we discuss requirements for an effective surveillance system to support decision making during a pandemic, drawing on the lessons of COVID-19 in the U.S., while looking to jurisdictions in the U.S. and beyond to …

  • Design and Implementation of a National Program to Monitor the Prevalence of Sars-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies in England Using Self-Testing

    Open AccessH Ward, Christina Atchison et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2023References: 15

    Data System. The UK Department of Health and Social Care funded the REal-time Assessment of Community Transmission-2 (REACT-2) study to estimate community prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibodies in England. Data Collection/Processing. We obtained random cross-sectional samples of adults from the National Health Service (NHS) patient list (near-universal coverage). We sent participants a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) self-test…

  • Design and Implementation of a National Sars-CoV-2 Monitoring Program in England

    Open AccessPeter Elliott, Paul Elliott et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2023Cited by: 1References: 17

    Data System. The REal-time Assessment of Community Transmission-1 (REACT-1) Study was funded by the Department of Health and Social Care in England to provide reliable and timely estimates of prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection over time, by person and place. Data Collection/Processing. The study team (researchers from Imperial College London and its logistics partner Ipsos) wrote to named individu…

  • Population Monitoring of Sars-CoV-2 Infections via Random Sampling During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Peter Elliott, Paul Elliott et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2023References: 8

    A s the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in early 2020, most countries were poorly equipped to deal with it.Despite the entreaties of the World Health Organization to "test, test, test," 1 few countries had the infrastructure, test equipment, laboratories, or resources to implement wide-scale testing.With the growing realization that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection could be transmitted by those with mild symptoms…

  • Reduction in mobility and Covid-19 transmission

    Open AccessPierre Nouvellet, Sangeeta Bhatia et al.ARTICLENature Communications2021

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, countries have sought to control SARS-CoV-2 transmission by restricting population movement through social distancing interventions, thus reducing the number of contacts. Mobility data represent an important proxy measure of social distancing, and here, we characterise the relationship between transmission and mobility for 52 countries around the world. Transmission significantly decreased with the initial re…

  • Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on Covid-19 in Europe

  • Estimates of the severity of coronavirus disease 2019

    Open AccessRobert Verity, Lucy Okell et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Infectious Diseases2020

    BACKGROUND: In the face of rapidly changing data, a range of case fatality ratio estimates for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been produced that differ substantially in magnitude. We aimed to provide robust estimates, accounting for censoring and ascertainment biases. METHODS: We collected individual-case data for patients who died from COVID-19 in Hubei, mainland China (reported by national and provincial health commissions to Feb 8, 2…

  • Social Contacts and Mixing Patterns Relevant to the Spread of Infectious Diseases

    Open AccessJoël Mossong, Niel Hens et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2008

    BACKGROUND: Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases transmitted by the respiratory or close-contact route (e.g., pandemic influenza) is increasingly being used to determine the impact of possible interventions. Although mixing patterns are known to be crucial determinants for model outcome, researchers often rely on a priori contact assumptions with little or no empirical basis. We conducted a population-based prospective survey of mixing p…

  • A cross-sectional study of the prevalence of intensity of infection with Schistosoma japonicumin 50 irrigated and rain-fed villages in Samar Province, the Philippines

    Open AccessMushfiqur R Tarafder, Ernesto Balolong et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    We found very important village-to-village variation in prevalence of infection intensity. This variation is probably due to village-level variables other than that explained by a crude classification of villages into the irrigated and non-irrigated categories. We are planning to capture this spatial heterogeneity by updating our initial transmission dynamics model with the data reported here combined with 1-year post-treatment follow-up of study…
