Newest firstLong-term care facilities (LTCF) are hotspots for pathogen transmission. Infection control interventions are essential, but the high density and heterogeneity of inter-individual contacts within LTCF may hinder their efficacy. Here, we explore how the patient-staff contact structure may inform effective intervention implementation. Using an individual-based model, we reproduced methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus…
Open article record in new tab ↗Small populations (e.g., hospitals, schools or workplaces) are characterised by high contact heterogeneity and stochasticity affecting pathogen transmission dynamics. Empirical individual contact data provide unprecedented information to characterize such heterogeneity and are increasingly available, but are usually collected over a limited period, and can suffer from observation bias. We propose an algorithm to s…
