To manage the public health risk posed by COVID-19 and assess the impact of interventions, policy makers must be able to closely monitor the epidemic’s trajectory. Here we present a simple methodology based on basic surveillance metrics for monitor

Publikováno v: BMC Veterinary Research, Vol 7, Iss 1, p 76 (2011)

Abstract Background We consider the potential for infection to spread in a farm population from the primary outbreak farm via livestock movements prior to disease detection. We analyse how this depends on the time of the year infection occurs, the sp

Publikováno v: BMC Infectious Diseases, Vol 6, Iss 1, p 5 (2006)

Abstract Background Epidemiological analyses indicate that the age distribution of natural cases of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) reflect age-related risk of infection, however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. U
