Machine learning augmented diagnostic testing to identify sources of variability in test performance

no code implementations28 Mar 2024 Christopher J. Banks, Aeron Sanchez, Vicki Stewart, Kate Bowen, Graham Smith, Rowland R. Kao

Diagnostic tests which can detect pre-clinical or sub-clinical infection, are one of the most powerful tools in our armoury of weapons to control infectious diseases.

Assessing the potential impact of environmental land management schemes on emergent infection disease risks

no code implementations13 Nov 2023 Christopher J. Banks, Katherine Simpson, Nicholas Hanley, Rowland R. Kao

We use this asses the impact on wild deer populations in the newly created woodland areas and the emergent infectious disease risk arising from the proximity of new and existing wild deer populations and existing cattle holdings.

Modelling plausible scenarios for the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant from early-stage surveillance

no code implementations24 Nov 2022 Christopher J. Banks, Ewan Colman, Anthony Wood, Thomas Doherty, Rowland R. Kao

In this paper we used an adapted version of an existing simulation model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Scotland to investigate the rise of the Omicron variant of concern, in order to evaluate plausible scenarios for transmission advantage and vaccine immune escape relative to the Delta variant.
