The complex interplay between risk tolerance and the spread of infectious diseases Open
Risk-driven behaviour provides a feedback mechanism through which individuals both shape and are collectively affected by an epidemic. We introduce a general and flexible compartmental model to study the effect of heterogeneity in the popu…

A unifying theoretical framework for tick-borne disease risk to explain conflicting results of exclosure experiments across scales Open
Disease ecology has focused greatly on determining how changes to biodiversity may drive infectious disease risk for humans. Fencing off experimental areas (exclosures) has been a common experimental approach to assess how removing large-b…

Effects of Host-Tree Foliage on Polymorphism in an Insect Pathogen Open
The theory of host-pathogen interactions has successfully shown that persistent pathogen virulence may be explained through tradeoffs between different pathogen fitness components, but classical theory cannot explain pathogen coexistence. …

Inferring COVID-19 testing and vaccination behavior from New Jersey testing data Open
Characterizing the relationship between disease testing behaviors and infectious disease dynamics is of great importance for public health. Tests for both current and past infection can influence disease-related behaviors at the individual…

Fundamental bound on epidemic overshoot in the SIR model Open
We derive an exact upper bound on the epidemic overshoot for the Kermack–McKendrick SIR model. This maximal overshoot value of 0.2984 · · · occurs at . In considering the utility of the notion of overshoot, a rudimentary analysis o…
