The network epidemiology of an Ebola epidemic

no code implementations16 Nov 2021 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Jean-Gabriel Young, Jamie Bedson, Laura A. Skrip, Danielle Pedi, Mohamed F. Jalloh, Bastian Raulier, Olivier Lapointe-Gagné, Amara Jambai, Antoine Allard, Benjamin M. Althouse

We leverage the data collected by the surveillance and contact tracing protocols of the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other responding partners to validate a network epidemiology framework connecting the population (incidence), community (local forecasts), and individual (secondary infections) scales of disease transmission.

Immunity-induced criticality of the genotype network of influenza A (H3N2) hemagglutinin

no code implementations25 Sep 2021 Blake J. M. Williams, C. Brandon Ogbunugafor, Benjamin M. Althouse, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

We argue that: (i) genotype networks are driven by mutation and host immunity to explore a subspace of networks predictable in structure, and (ii) genotype networks provide an underlying structure necessary to capture the rich dynamics of multistrain epidemic models.

Stochasticity and heterogeneity in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2

1 code implementation27 May 2020 Benjamin M. Althouse, Edward A. Wenger, Joel C. Miller, Samuel V. Scarpino, Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Hao Hu

SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 disease has moved rapidly around the globe, infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands.

Beyond $R_0$: Heterogeneity in secondary infections and probabilistic epidemic forecasting

2 code implementations10 Feb 2020 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Benjamin M. Althouse, Samuel V. Scarpino, Antoine Allard

Lastly, we demonstrate that without data on the heterogeneity in secondary infections for emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, the uncertainty in outbreak size ranges dramatically.
