We compared the mortality risk in Alaska among persons with symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the period the Delta variant was predominant to the risk among those with symptomatic COVID-19 before Delta predominance. The Delta per

BACKGROUND:In the global program for the eradication of yaws, assessments of the prevalence of the disease are used to decide where to initiate mass treatment. However, the smallest administrative unit that should be used as the basis for making deci

BACKGROUND:During the 2014 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, policy-makers were confronted with difficult decisions on how best to test the efficacy of EVD vaccines. On one hand, many were reluctant to withhold a vaccine that might prevent a fatal

BACKGROUND: Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue causes yaws. Strategies to better control, eliminate, and eradicate yaws are needed. METHODS: In an open-label, cluster-randomized, community-based trial conducted in a yaws-endemic area of Papua New

Programmatic goals and spatial epidemiology influence the merit of targeted versus of population-wide interventions for yaws eradication

Autor: Oriol Mitjà, Michael Marks, Megan Murray, Marcia C. Castro, Eric Q. Mooring, Marc Lipsitch

Infectious disease eradication programs often pursue spatially targeted interventions, but how well they perform might depend on the underlying spatial epidemiology and the specific goal of the program. We use a stochastic compartmental metapopulatio
