This document provides an update on modeling the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. It summarizes epidemiological data from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Compartmental models are described and fitted to outbreak data from each country. While many parameter combinations can fit the data, projections remain uncertain without more information. Behavioral changes may eventually curb transmission, but the outbreak could last 6-18 more months. Preliminary US estimates suggest few additional cases may occur if the virus is imported but undetected.

Data Engineers in Uncertain Times: A COVID-19 Case StudyDatabricks
In this talk, I will show the range of data engineering challenges in acquiring accurate COVID-19 case data from hundreds of sources for an epidemiological study. I’ll walk you through how we mitigated these challenges using purely open source Python libraries (Great Expectations and Kedro). Together, they bring software engineering best practices to the experimental nature of Machine Learning.
SA’s Covid-19 epidemic: Trends & Next stepsSABC News
Why is SA different - new cases declining to a plateau:
• Are we missing cases due to low or declining testing coverage?
• Are there missing cases in poor communities due to skewed
higher private lab testing?
• Is the reduction genuine and due to the interventions in SA’s
Covid-19 response?
The document provides standard operating procedures for responding to poliovirus events and outbreaks. It defines events and outbreaks, outlines the classification of vaccine-derived polioviruses, and describes risk assessment and grading of outbreaks. The response to events and outbreaks includes immunization strategies, with the number and timing of supplemental immunization activities determined by the risk zone and phase. Outbreak assessment and closure procedures ensure transmission has been interrupted. Management functions such as notification, stockpile release, and leadership coordination are also covered.
Approaches to Improve Malaria Outcomes_Debra Prosnitz_4.25.13CORE Group
The document reviews malaria prevention and treatment approaches used in USAID's Child Survival and Health Grants Program projects. It finds that the projects improved key malaria indicators like child ITN use and treatment of fevers, though national data showed smaller gains. Behavior change communication strategies included involvement in developing national tools, replication of effective approaches, and adjustments based on evaluation. Gaps identified included addressing malaria in pregnancy, demand creation with limited supplies, addressing low risk perception, improving materials for illiterate groups, and sustainability planning. Recommendations include more detailed reporting on community mobilization, promoted messages, and interpersonal contact quality and frequency.
This report summarizes Kenya's annual malaria situation from July 2013 to June 2014. Some key points:
- The proportion of outpatient cases due to malaria declined from 21% in 2012-2013 to 17.7% in 2013-2014. Confirmation of malaria cases using rapid diagnostic tests or microscopy increased from 34.6% to 41.7% over the same period.
- Over 7.5 million doses of antimalarial medicines and 8.5 million rapid diagnostic tests were procured and distributed in 2013-2014. Additionally, 3 million long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets were procured in preparation for the next mass distribution campaign.
- Despite progress, fully implementing malaria control strategies may
This document summarizes a study assessing how the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) disseminates weather information to end-users in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study aimed to identify the types of weather forecasts produced, examine the dissemination channels used, and evaluate end-users' perceptions. Key findings include: the most common dissemination channels were radio, television, and word-of-mouth; a language barrier existed in conveying forecasts; and end-users had varying opinions on forecast accuracy, timeliness, and accessibility. The study concluded more must be done to ensure end-users can easily access, understand, and apply weather forecasts to their needs. Recommendations focused on tailoring dissemination to
Similar to Modeling the Ebola Outbreak in West Africa, February 10th 2015 update (13)
Dr. Bryan Lewis and Dr. Madhav Marathe (both at Virginia Tech) will present a data driven multi-scale approach for modeling the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. We will discuss how the models and tools were used to study a number of important analytical questions, such as:
(i) computing weekly forecasts, (ii) optimally placing emergency treatment units and more generally health care facilities, and (iii) carrying out a comprehensive counter-factual analysis related to allocation of scarce pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical resources. The role of big-data and behavioral adaptation in developing the computational models will be highlighted.

– Provides

– Ques2ons
about

(to
the
degree
we’ve
