This document describes a model for estimating the attack ratio of dengue epidemics using aggregated case notification data from Brazil. It discusses how dengue is a seasonal, multi-strain disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Environmental factors like temperature and rainfall influence mosquito population dynamics. A single-strain SIR model is used with a time-varying force of infection derived from estimates of the effective reproductive number. A Bayesian approach is taken to estimate the initial susceptible population from notification data in order to parameterize the model.

This document discusses methods for estimating the exponential growth rate of an epidemic from epidemic curve data. It begins by explaining that epidemics often grow exponentially during the initial phase. It then discusses two approaches for relating the exponential growth rate to the basic reproduction number R0: a parametric approach using underlying epidemic models, and a non-parametric approach using the serial interval distribution. The document uses examples of SIR and SEIR models to illustrate the exponential growth phase and how the growth rate can determine R0. It emphasizes that estimating the growth rate and relating it to R0 can provide important insights into the severity and spread of an epidemic.
1) An epidemiological model for COVID-19 was developed to simulate its spread through a population of 100 million people. The model considers people as moving between categories of infected, sick, seriously sick, recovered, etc.
2) Preliminary simulations without intervention show rapid exponential growth, peaking after 3 months with over 1.3 million deaths for a doubling time of 4 days. Even faster growth was seen with a doubling time of 2.66 days.
3) "Herd immunity" and "flattening the curve" strategies are found to be inadequate, as infections exceed the threshold for herd immunity and still overwhelm healthcare systems. Maintaining R0 below 1 through sufficient social distancing is required to control

1. The study examined how biodiversity may prevent malaria outbreaks in tropical forests through two mechanisms: the dilution effect of wild animals acting as dead-end hosts for Plasmodium parasites, and diffuse competition among mosquito vectors and non-vectors for blood meals.
2. Models based on the Ross-Macdonald framework and incorporating biodiversity factors were developed and parameterized using field and literature data from a Brazilian forest where the main malaria vector is present but no cases have been reported since 1980.
3. The standard Ross-Macdonald model predicted malaria outbreaks should occur (R0 > 1), but the biodiversity-incorporated model matched the observed absence of transmission (R0 < 1),

Time and dose-dependent risk of pneumococcal pneumonia following influenza- a...Joshua Berus
This document presents a mathematical model of the within-host interaction between influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. The model combines existing models of individual influenza and pneumococcal infections through an immune-mediated interaction mechanism. Simulation results from the combined model capture key features observed in animal studies, such as enhanced risk of invasive pneumonia when pneumococcal exposure occurs 4-6 days after influenza infection. The model also predicts that antiviral treatment would only prevent severe pneumococcal disease if administered early in influenza infection. The quantitative model framework provides insights into the clinical and epidemiological consequences of the viral-bacterial interaction.
This document presents a mathematical model for studying the co-infection of HIV/AIDS and malaria in the presence of treatment measures. The model divides the human population into susceptible, malaria-infected, HIV-infected, co-infected, and malaria recovered compartments. It also includes susceptible and infected mosquito compartments. Equations are formulated to capture the transitions between compartments based on infection, recovery, mortality and other factors. The basic reproduction number is obtained using the next generation matrix method. Simulations using MAPLE 18 software show that malaria treatment alone does not reduce the total co-infected population, indicating both diseases need to be treated.
This paper proposes a vaccine-dependent mathematical model to study the transmission dynamics of tuberculosis (TB) epidemics at the population level. The model divides the population into susceptible, latently infected unvaccinated, latently infected vaccinated, actively infected, recovered, and vaccinated classes. The paper proves the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the system of equations that defines the model. It also shows that the infection will die out if the basic reproduction number is less than one. The model could be used to estimate new TB infections and help design prevention and intervention strategies.
Descriptive epidemiology involves systematically studying the occurrence and distribution of disease in populations. It describes patterns of disease by person, place, and time. Descriptive studies are the first step in epidemiological research as they observe disease occurrence and distribution without inferring causation. They provide basic data on disease frequency and characteristics in a population.
ICON experts give an in-depth overview of infectious disease modeling with a focus on assessment of interventions and its challenges.
The nature of communicable diseases results in unique epidemiological characteristics that must be accounted for when considering the epidemiological, clinical, and economic consequences of interventions that modify transmission. These interventions clearly include vaccines, but also drug treatments that may reduce the duration of infectiousness.
This webinar outlines the unique epidemiological characteristics of communicable diseases and demonstrates how correctly accounting for these in clinical and economic assessments of interventions can capture the full value of these interventions. Some of the challenges faced when performing these analyses are also addressed.

The role of influenza in the epidemiology of pneumoniaJoshua Berus
1. The document examines the role of influenza in pneumonia epidemiology using longitudinal influenza and pneumonia incidence data from different time periods and locations in the US.
2. Using a transmission model and likelihood-based inference framework, the analysis found that influenza infection increases an individual's risk of developing pneumonia by around 100-fold, supporting the hypothesis that influenza enhances susceptibility to pneumonia.
3. However, the analysis found no evidence that influenza infection affects the transmission or severity of pneumonia. The consistency of these findings across different datasets and the model's ability to predict pneumonia incidence increases confidence in the conclusion that influenza substantially increases risk of pneumonia for a short period.

This document discusses modeling norovirus transmission dynamics after point-source outbreak events. It presents a stochastic SEIR model to simulate norovirus transmission within households using epidemiological data from a large norovirus outbreak in Stockholm, Sweden. The model aims to estimate key transmission parameters like the daily person-to-person infection rate (β) and the average effective duration of infection (1/γ). The analysis accounts for challenges in the data like missing household sizes and the role of asymptomatic infections. Simulation results suggest the model fits the observed outbreak patterns well and is robust to assumptions about household sizes.

This document presents a mathematical model using the SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) model to understand the spread of the 2014 Ebola virus disease outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The model divides the population into compartments based on disease status. Differential equations are formulated and numerically solved using data from the outbreak. The results show that initially the number of infected individuals increases, reaches a peak, and then decreases as individuals recover or die, indicating the outbreak could be controlled. Public health interventions that reduce transmission rates can help an outbreak die out by lowering the reproduction number below 1.
The document describes a varicella zoster virus (VZV) outbreak that occurred in 2008 in a refugee camp in Northern Thailand. It affected a population of 7815 Lao Hmong refugees. The outbreak began with 2 initial cases on January 28th and ended on May 5th, with a total of 309 cases identified. Different transmission coefficients (β) were estimated and used to model the outbreak data using a basic SIR model. The model that best fit the epidemic curve used a β of 0.000133, producing a basic reproduction number (R0) of 6.08, which is close to values reported in previous studies. However, the SIR model violated several assumptions given heterogeneity in the population.

The issue of state estimation is considered for an SIR-SI model describing a vector-borne disease such as dengue fever, with seasonal variations and uncertainties in the transmission rates. Assuming continuous measurement of the number of new infectives in the host population per unit time, a class of interval observers with estimate-dependent gain is constructed, and asymptotic error bounds are provided. The synthesis method is based on the search for a common linear Lyapunov function for monotone systems representing the evolution of the estimation errors.

Mathematical Model of Varicella Zoster Virus - Abbie JakubovicAbbie Jakubovic
This paper uses a mathematical model called the SIR model to simulate the spread of chickenpox (varicella) caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The SIR model divides a population into susceptible (S), infected (I), and removed/recovered (R) groups and models how individuals move between these groups over time. The paper applies the SIR model to a sample population of 1,000 individuals to demonstrate how an outbreak of chickenpox might progress. It estimates key parameters like infection rate and removal rate based on characteristics of the chickenpox virus. The model simulation shows the number of susceptible individuals decreasing as the number of infected individuals increases and peaks before declining as individuals recover and become removed

It summarizes Saskatchewan's 2010-2013 HIV Strategy, which aims to reduce new infections and improve quality of life for those living with HIV through improved surveillance, clinical management, prevention, and harm reduction programs. The strategy goals include earlier detection of cases, decreasing new infections and sexually transmitted infections, and increasing access to testing, care, and prevention services.
Modeling and Simulation of Spread and Effect of Malaria EpidemicWaqas Tariq
The purpose of this paper is to consider malaria infection (A) and the control of malaria (B) as the two sets of soldiers engage in a war. The principal objectives are to see if it is possible with time to reduce and eradicate malaria in our environment taking reasonable precaution. The methodology approach is to model a mathematical equation using battling method approach to find the time(t) that control malaria in our environment will conquer the malaria infection i.e. when A(t)=0. The number of provided facilities (n) for the protection of malaria is also considered and varied. The result shows that as the number of malaria control increases the control time is decreasing.
The document proposes analyzing historical health data and weather storm data to build a predictive model for how different types of storms may impact infectious disease rates.

Age groups and geographic areas would be considered. The expected output is a predictive model to forecast admissions in a future year based on the analysis.
Mathematics Model Development Deployment of Dengue Fever Diseases by Involve ...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Dengue virus is one of virus that cause deadly disease
was dengue fever. This virus was transmitted through bite of
Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes that gain virus infected by
taking food from infected human blood, then mosquitoes
transmited pathogen to susceptible humans. Suppressed the
spread and growth of dengue fever was important to avoid
and prevent the increase of dengue virus sufferer and
casualties. This problem can be solved with studied
important factors that affected the spread and equity of
disease by sensitivity index. The purpose of this research
were to modify mathematical model the spread of dengue
fever be SEIRS-ASEI type, to determine of equilibrium
point, to determined of basic reproduction number, stability
analysis of equilibrium point, calculated sensitivity index, to
analyze sensitivity, and to simulate numerical on

numerical simulation result had showed that DFE, stable if
the basic reproduction number is less than one and endemic
equilibrium point was stable if the basic reproduction
number is more than one.
This document describes a mathematical model of meningococcal carriage and vaccination dynamics. The model examines how vaccination rates against serogroup A meningococcus may impact the transmission of serogroup W. The model suggests that the relative transmissibility of the two serogroups is important for determining the optimal vaccination strategy. If serogroup W is more transmissible, vaccination could paradoxically increase overall carriage by removing competition from serogroup A. The document calls for further refinements of the model, including incorporating age structure and empirically estimating key parameters.
This document discusses measures of disease frequency, including incidence, prevalence, rates, ratios, and proportions. It defines key terms and concepts:
- Incidence measures new cases over time, while prevalence measures existing cases at a point or period. Incidence is useful for causal inference, while prevalence quantifies disease burden.
- A rate describes how quickly events occur in a population over time. It is not a proportion and has no upper bound. Incidence density (rate) accounts for variable follow-up times.
- Risk is the probability an individual develops a disease, estimated from cumulative incidence. It is a proportion bounded from 0 to 1. Ratios and proportions relate numerators and denominators.

Abstract
Prevalence and incidence are measures that are used for monitoring the occurrence of a disease. Prevalence can be computed from readily available cross-sectional data but incidence is traditionally computed from longitudinal data from longitudinal studies. Longitudinal studies are characterised by financial and logistical problems where as cross-sectional studies are easy to conduct. This paper introduces a new method for estimating HIV incidence from grouped cross-sectional sero-prevalence data from settings where antiretroviral therapy is provided to those who are eligible according to recommended criteria for the administration of such drugs.

1) The document discusses using a simulation model to study the potential impact of increased HIV testing rates and changes to when antiretroviral therapy (ART) is initiated on HIV incidence in men who have sex with men (MSM) in the UK.
2) The model results suggest that increasing testing rates and initiating ART at diagnosis could reduce annual new HIV infections by up to 64% by 2030, but ongoing high levels of condomless sex and poorer adherence to ART treatment may limit these prevention benefits.
3) For HIV incidence to fall below 1 per 1000 people per year, the analysis finds that the proportion of all MSM with suppressed viral loads would need to increase from the current approximately 60%

This paper introduces a new method for estimating HIV incidence from grouped cross-sectional sero-prevalence data from settings where antiretroviral therapy is provided to those who are eligible according to recommended criteria for the administration of such drugs.
HIV in men-who-have-sex-with-men(MSM)in the UK:predicted effectiveness and co...cheweb1
1) The document discusses using a simulation model to study the potential impact of increased HIV testing rates and changes to when antiretroviral therapy (ART) is initiated on HIV incidence in men who have sex with men (MSM) in the UK.
2) The model results suggest that increasing testing rates and initiating ART at diagnosis could reduce annual new HIV infections by up to 64% by 2030, but ongoing high levels of condomless sex and poorer adherence to ART treatment may limit these prevention benefits.
3) For HIV incidence to fall below 1 per 1000 people per year, the analysis finds that the proportion of all MSM with suppressed viral loads would need to increase from the current approximately 60%
O documento descreve um projeto chamado Alerta Dengue que fornece alertas semanais sobre a situação da dengue em nível municipal utilizando dados híbridos de redes sociais, monitoramento entomológico, epidemiológico e climático. O projeto combina esses dados para gerar níveis de alerta que orientam as ações de controle vetorial e vigilância epidemiológica.
Alerta Dengue is a nowcasting system that uses data from Twitter, epidemiological monitoring, meteorology, and entomological monitoring to provide surveillance of dengue fever in Brazil. It analyzes the number of tweets about dengue, official dengue case numbers, temperature data, and mosquito ovitrap data to assign alert levels - green for low risk, yellow for dengue season, orange for active transmission, and red for an epidemic. The system provides weekly reports and maps to track dengue activity and issue alerts.
Este documento descreve um sistema de alerta precoce para surtos de dengue que utiliza dados de redes sociais, monitoramento entomológico, epidemiológico e climático. O sistema calcula indicadores como o número reprodutivo efetivo para detectar aumentos sustentados de casos e menções à dengue nas redes sociais. O sistema gera cores de alerta (verde, amarelo, laranja, vermelho) com base nesses indicadores e na temperatura para fornecer alertas rápidos sobre o risco de dengue.

Fabricio Silva: Cloud Computing Technologies for Genomic Big Data AnalysisFlávio Codeço Coelho
This document discusses the use of cloud computing technologies for genomic big data analysis. It begins by defining big data and describing the exponential growth of genomic data. It then discusses how cloud computing provides flexibility, scalability, and accessibility for genomic data processing through virtualization and large computing clusters. Specific technologies enabled for the cloud that help with genomic analysis are described, such as Hadoop, MapReduce, and genomic analysis tools adapted for these frameworks. The document concludes by discussing challenges remaining around data transfer speeds and the need for cloud application expertise, but also describes how platforms like Galaxy Cloudman and Cloudgene allow genomic analysis in the cloud without programming expertise.
The document summarizes several mathematical models of disease transmission dynamics, both with and without interventions. It presents models for transmission intensity and proportion infected under different scenarios. Figures show model outputs like the relationship between transmission intensity and proportion infected, as well as the impact of challenge dose and susceptibility on infection levels. The document cites several references and includes a map showing disease data from communities around the world.

The document describes Influenzanet, a system for monitoring influenza-like illness (ILI) through voluntary self-reporting by participants. It discusses how Influenzanet collects data through intake and weekly questionnaires, and has expanded to include many European countries as well as Australia, Mexico, Brazil and the US. The document compares Influenzanet to other ILI surveillance systems like sentinel physician networks and Google Flu Trends, and discusses various biases that can affect different systems like age or health-seeking behavior biases. It also demonstrates how Influenzanet establishes ILI baselines and allows for real-time epidemic monitoring and detection.
Claudia medina: Linking Health Records for Population Health Research in Brazil.Flávio Codeço Coelho
The document discusses record linkage, which is the process of identifying and merging records from different databases that refer to the same individual. It describes common record linkage approaches used in Brazil's health sector, including probabilistic and deterministic methods. It also evaluates the accuracy of applying a probabilistic record linkage strategy to identify deaths among AIDS cases reported to Brazil's surveillance database, finding a sensitivity of 87.6% and specificity of 99.6%. Finally, it discusses the potential impact of linkage errors on risk ratio estimates in longitudinal mortality studies.
This document discusses how big data and digital technologies can help end pandemics through early detection. It explains that early detection of disease outbreaks has improved in recent decades through methods like routine disease reporting, sentinel networks, and digital disease detection tools. However, there is still potential for even earlier detection through participatory epidemiology that harnesses public reporting of health information. The document advocates expanding participatory surveillance globally to help push the boundaries of disease surveillance and enable faster detection of outbreaks worldwide.
This document summarizes big data in the life sciences sector and its strategic importance for stakeholders such as pharmaceutical and medical device companies. It discusses how capturing, storing, managing data flows and analyzing large amounts of information affects all aspects of organizations, particularly the discovery and research & development stages. Implementing a strategic shift towards big data approaches requires support from senior management and organization-wide implementation. Areas that can benefit include genomics, clinical research, epidemiology, public health, and understanding product effectiveness and health outcomes. Managing data generated across the entire value chain, from discovery to real-world use, has become vastly more challenging due to increasing data volumes.
Marco Andreazzi: IBGE research and data collection on health related issues.Flávio Codeço Coelho
The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is the main provider of statistical and cartographic data in Brazil. IBGE collects demographic, economic, and health data through national surveys. Some key health surveys conducted by IBGE include the National Household Sample Survey, which includes a health supplement, the Youth National Health Survey, and the National Health Survey. IBGE disseminates this data through publications, databases, and its website to inform policymaking and understanding of Brazil's population and economy.
This document summarizes a project to mine and analyze over 1.3 million legal texts from the Brazilian Supreme Court. It involved web scraping the documents, parsing the HTML, storing the data in MySQL and MongoDB databases, applying natural language processing and pattern matching techniques, and visualizing the results using tools like Matplotlib, Ubigraph and Gource. The goal was to better understand the information and relationships within the large corpus of legal texts.
This document discusses causal Bayesian networks. It begins by introducing basic graph theory concepts like vertices, edges, directed and undirected graphs. It then explains that Bayesian networks are a type of directed acyclic graph that can be used to represent conditional independence relationships between variables. The document outlines some key properties and theorems regarding causal Bayesian networks, such as d-separation and the Markov condition. It also discusses how causal Bayesian networks can be used for inference and representing the effects of interventions.

We explore the approach of Ederer and Mantel[4], whose

Yt+1 ∼ Poisson(λt+1) and define S = Yt + Yt+1. The authors
note that by conditioning on the sum S

Rt ’s Uncertainty
Taking a Bayesian conjugate distribution approach, If we
choose a Beta conjugate prior with parameters a0 and b0 for
the Binomial likelihood in (2), the posterior distribution for θt
is
p(θt|Yt+1, S) ∼ Beta(Yt+1 + a0, Yt + b0) (5)
Combining equations (4) and (5) tells us that the induced
posterior distribution of Rt is a Beta prime (or inverted Beta)
with parameters a1 = Yt+1 + a0 and b1 = Yt + b0 [?]. The
density of the induced distribution is then
fP (Rt|a1, b1) =
Γ(a1 + b1)
Γ(a1)Γ(b1)
Ra1−1
t (1 + Rt)−(a1+b1)
(6)
Thus, the expectation of Rt is a1/(b1 − 1) and its variance is
a1(a1 + b1 − 1)/ (b1 − 2)(b1 − 1)2
.
