Background: A proactive approach to preventing and responding to emerging infectious diseases is critical to global health security. We present a three-stage approach to modeling the spatial distribution of outbreak ...

We use a stochastic simulation model to explore the effect of reactive intervention strategies during the 2002 dengue outbreak in the small population of Easter Island, Chile. We quantified the effect of interventions on ...

The outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) that raged between 2014 and 2016 in the West African subregion was one of the global epidemics that spiked international public health concern in the last decade. Since the discovery ...

In this research, we are interested in predicting the epidemic peak outbreak of the Coronavirus in South Africa, Turkey, and Brazil. Until now, there is no known safe treatment, hence the immunity system of the individual ...

In order to increase awareness of the pandemic and to streamline control measures before any new outbreak of infl uenza we analyze the behavior of the cases of Chile and from 9 countries with more cases in 2009. Reproductive ...
