Point-of-care tests (POCTs) could address these limitations, but anticipated supply constraints necessitate strategic allocation to maximise impact. MethodsWe developed a deterministic compartmental model of gonorrhoea transmission in Kenya to evaluate alloc…
Open article record in new tab ↗We conducted a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023393345) of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) transmission models and parameters characterising its transmission, evolution, natural history, severity, risk factors and seroprevalence. Information was extracted using a custom database and quality assessment tool. We extracted 519 parameters, 243 risk factors, and 112 models from 288 papers. Our analyses show…
Open article record in new tab ↗Characterising the transmission dynamics between various population groups is critical for implementing effective outbreak control measures whilst minimising financial costs and societal disruption. Traditionally, mathematical models have primarily relied on assumptions of contact patterns to characterise transmission between groups. Thanks to technological and methodological advances, transmission chain data is i…
Open article record in new tab ↗The COVID-19 pandemic both relied and placed significant burdens on the experts involved from research and public health sectors. The sustained high pressure of a pandemic on responders, such as healthcare workers, can lead to lasting psychological impacts including acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout, and moral injury, which can impact individual wellbeing and productivity. As members o…
