A modelling assessment for the impact of control measures on highly pathogenic avian influenza transmission in poultry in Great Britain Open
Since 2020, large-scale outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 in Great Britain have resulted in substantial poultry mortality and economic losses. Alongside the costs, the risk of circulation leading to a viral reassor…

Dengue epidemic alert thresholds, a tool for surveillance and epidemic detection Open
Epidemic detection enables swift public health responses. Dengue viruses pose a significant public health challenge in Puerto Rico, where they are endemic and cause intermittent epidemics. A weekly intercept-only negative binomial regressi…

Season of death, pathogen persistence and wildlife behaviour alter number of anthrax secondary infections from environmental reservoirs Open
An important part of infectious disease management is predicting factors that influence disease outbreaks, such as R , the number of secondary infections arising from an infected individual. Estimating R is particularly challenging for env…

Introduction and Spread of Dengue Virus 3, Florida, USA, May 2022–April 2023 Open
During May 2022-April 2023, dengue virus serotype 3 was identified among 601 travel-associated and 61 locally acquired dengue cases in Florida, USA. All 203 sequenced genomes belonged to the same genotype III lineage and revealed potential…

Identification of dynamical changes of rabies transmission under quarantine: community-based measures towards rabies elimination Open
Quarantine has been long used as a public health response to emerging infectious diseases, particularly at the onset of an epidemic when the infected proportion of a population remains identifiable and logistically tractable. In theory, th…

Rabies shows how scale of transmission can enable acute infections to persist at low prevalence Open
How acute pathogens persist and what curtails their epidemic growth in the absence of acquired immunity remains unknown. Canine rabies is a fatal zoonosis that circulates endemically at low prevalence among domestic dogs in low- and middle…

Spatial scale of transmission explains how acute infections circulate at low prevalence Open
Fundamental questions remain about the regulation of acute pathogens in the absence of acquired immunity. This is especially true for canine rabies, a universally fatal zoonosis. From tracing rabies transmission in a population of 50,000 d…
