Indirect contacts between Danish pig farms – what are the frequencies and risk-reducing measures, and how can they be used in simulation models? by Mette Fertner, Beate Conrady, Anne Sax Røgind, Elisabeth Okholm Nielsen, Anette Boklund

“…Conclusion Since the inclusion of indirect contacts in disease spread models relies on valid data, the present study provided valuable data regarding the frequencies and biosecurity measures of indirect contacts between Danish pig herds, which may be useful in the parametrization of computational epidemiological models.…”

Significance of supervision sampling in control of communicable respiratory disease simulated by a new model during different stages of the disease by Alphonse Houssou Hounye, Xiaogao Pan, Yuqi Zhao, Cong Cao, Jiaoju Wang, Abidi Mimi Venunye, Li Xiong, Xiangping Chai, Muzhou Hou

“…The Chinese government has replaced scaling up testing with monitoring focus groups and randomly supervising sampling, encouraging scientific research on the COVID-19 transmission curve to be confirmed by constructing epidemiological models, which include statistical models, computer simulations, mathematical illustrations of the pathogen and its effects, and several other methodologies. …”

Attributing heatwave-related mortality to climate change: a case study of the 2009 Victorian heatwave in Australia by Sarah E Perkins-Kirkpatrick, Linda Selvey, Philipp Aglas-Leitner, Nina Lansbury, Samuel Hundessa, Dáithí Stone, Kristie L Ebi, Nicholas John Osborne

“…Despite the small total number of attributable deaths as per the epidemiological model, six out of eight climate models predicted a statistically significant anthropogenic influence, indicating that climate change increased the heatwave-related mortality impact of this event. …”

Modeling the spread of bed bug infestation and optimal resource allocation for disinfestation by Ali Gharouni, Lin Wang

“…A patch-structured multigroup-like $SIS$ epidemiological model is proposed to study the spread of the common bed bug infestation.It is shown that the model exhibits global threshold dynamics with the basic reproduction number as the threshold parameter.Costs associated with the disinfestation process are incorporated into setting up the optimization problems.Procedures are proposed and simulated for finding optimal resource allocation strategies to achieve the infestation free state.Our analysis and simulations provide useful insights on how to efficiently distribute the available exterminators among the infested patches for optimal disinfestation management.…”

MalSEIRS: Forecasting Malware Spread Based on Compartmental Models in Epidemiology by Isabella Martínez Martínez, Andrés Florián Quitián, Daniel Díaz-López, Pantaleone Nespoli, Félix Gómez Mármol

“…In this context, the paper at hand proposes MalSEIRS, a novel dynamic model, to predict malware distribution in a network based on the SEIRS epidemiological model. As a result, the time-dependent rates of infection, recovery, and loss of immunity enable us to capture the complex dynamism of malware spreading behavior, which is influenced by a variety of external circumstances. …”
