Comparative Analysis of Dengue and Zika Outbreaks Reveals Differences by Setting and Virus.
Sebastian Funk,Adam J. Kucharski,Anton Camacho,Rosalind M Eggo,Laith Yakob,Lawrence M. Murray,W. John Edmunds +6 more
TL;DR: Compared three outbreaks of dengue and Zika virus in two different island settings in Micronesia, using a mathematical model of transmission dynamics and making full use of commonalities in disease and setting between the outbreaks, it is found that the estimated reproduction numbers for Zika and d Dengue were similar when considered in the same setting, but that, conversely, reproduction number for the same disease can vary considerably by setting.
Estimating the infection and case fatality ratio for COVID-19 using age-adjusted data from the outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise ship
Timothy W Russell,Joel Hellewell,Christopher I Jarvis,Kevin van Zandvoort,Sam Abbott,Ruwan Ratnayake,Stefan Flasche,Rosalind M Eggo,W. John Edmunds,Adam J. Kucharski +9 more
TL;DR: Adjusting for delay from confirmation-to-death, case and infection fatality ratios (CFR, IFR) for COVID-19 on the Diamond Princess ship are estimated as 2.3% (0.75%-5.3%) and 1.2% ( 0.38-2.7%) respectively.
Effectiveness of Ring Vaccination as Control Strategy for Ebola Virus Disease.
Adam J. Kucharski,Rosalind M Eggo,Conall H. Watson,Anton Camacho,Sebastian Funk,W. John Edmunds +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that addition of ring vaccination at the outset of the West Africa epidemic might not have led to containment of this disease, but in later stages of the epidemic or in outbreaks with less intense transmission or more effective control, this strategy could help eliminate the disease.
Assessing the performance of real-time epidemic forecasts: A case study of Ebola in the Western Area region of Sierra Leone, 2014-15.
TL;DR: An evaluation approach that disentangles different components of forecasting ability using metrics that separately assess the calibration, sharpness and bias of forecasts is proposed, which suggests that forecasts may have been of good enough quality to inform decision making based on predictions a few weeks ahead of time but not longer.
The contribution of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections to transmission on the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
Jon C Emery,Timothy W Russell,Yang Liu,Joel Hellewell,Carl A. B. Pearson,Gwenan M. Knight,Rosalind M Eggo,Adam J. Kucharski,Sebastian Funk,Stefan Flasche,Rein M G J Houben +10 more
TL;DR: A transmission model with asymPTomatic and presymptomatic states, calibrated to data on disease onset and test frequency from the Diamond Princess cruise ship outbreak, estimated that 74% (70–78%, 95% posterior interval) of infections proceeded asymptomatically.
