An Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling [printed text] / Emilia Vynnycky, Author ; Richard White, Author . - Oxford ; Melbourne ; New York : Oxford University Press - OUP, 2010 . - 370 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. ISBN : 978-0-19-856576-5 : £ 29,95 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Indexation Disease Transmission, Infectious ; Handbooks ; HIV Infections ; Influenza, Human ; Models, Theoretical Classification WA 110 Prevention and control of communicable diseases. Transmission of infectious diseases Abstract: * Includes worked examples, together with exercises based on real data and real-life problems * Contains a glossary of key definitions and abbreviations * Accessible to the majority of readers as it does not assume advanced mathematical skills * Accompanied by online files and solutions to exercises Mathematical models are increasingly being used to examine questions in infectious disease control. Applications include predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against common infections and determining optimal control strategies against HIV and pandemic influenza. This book introduces individuals interested in infectious diseases to this exciting and expanding area. The mathematical level of the book is kept as simple as possible, which makes the book accessible to those who have not studied mathematics to university level. Understanding is further enhanced by models that can be accessed online, which will allow readers to explore the impact of different factors and control strategies, and further adapt and develop the models themselves. The book is based on successful courses developed by the authors at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It will be of interest to epidemiologists, public health researchers, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical statisticians and infectious disease researchers.

Control of infectious diseases in refugee and displaced populations in developing countries / C. Paquet in Bulletin de l'Institut Pasteur, 96(1998)1 ([01/01/1998])  

[article] Control of infectious diseases in refugee and displaced populations in developing countries = Contrôle des maladies infectieuses chez les réfugiés et les populations déplacées dans les pays en développement [printed text] / C. Paquet, Author ; Germaine Hanquet, Author . - 1998 . - 3-14. Languages : English (eng) French (fre) in Bulletin de l'Institut Pasteur > 96(1998)1 [01/01/1998] . - 3-14 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Developing Countries ; Disease Transmission, Infectious ; France ; Journal Article ; Netherlands ; Peer Review Abstract: Large population displacements are always associated with a high rate of mortality due to infectious diseases. Measles immunization, the provision of clean water and sanitation and the effective management of malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia cases are the main measures for preventing excess mortality at the initial phase of a refugee influx. During the postemergency phase, public health activities also target specific issues such as tuberculosis and reproductive health.

Transmission of infectious diseases Abstract: By means of a quick literature review, KCE investigated the susceptibility of children to the coronavirus and the role they play in its transmission. It appears that there are still many uncertainties about this issue. This makes it difficult to estimate the public health risks when schools are reopened. Contact investigations are currently being carried out across the country to identify cases of (potential) contamination as soon as possible. However, when a large number of corona cases occur in schools, "outbreak teams" should also investigate the role of schoolchildren in corona infection. Thanks to such a population study scientific information on the risk of infection from school-aged children could be obtained, and this is urgently needed. In addition, epidemiological studies are recommended to describe the course of a corona infection in children. And to monitor immunity in children, more children should have regular blood tests.

Determinants of nonadherence to a single-dose nevirapine regimen for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission in Rwanda / T. Delvaux in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes, 50(2009)2 ([02/01/2009])

Periodicals Indexation Adult ; Disease Transmission, Infectious ; drug therapy ; HIV Infections ; Humans ; Infant, Newborn ; Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical ; Journal Article ; Patient Compliance ; Peer Review ; Pregnancy ; Pregnancy Complications, Infectious ; Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors ; Rwanda ; United States Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To describe experiences, and identify factors associated with nonadherence to a single-dose nevirapine (SD-NVP) regimen for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV in Rwanda. METHODS: In April to May 2006, using a case-control design at 12 PMTCT sites, we interviewed HIV-infected women who did not adhere (n = 111) and who adhered (n = 125) to the PMTCT prophylaxis regimen. Nonadherence was defined as mother and/or infant not ingesting SD-NVP at the recommended time or not at all and adherence as mother-infant pairs who ingested it as recommended. RESULTS: Only 61% of nonadherent women had received SD-NVP during pregnancy or delivery. Among nonadherent women who received SD-NVP, 80% ingested it at the recommended time, representing 49% of all nonadherent women. Only 7% of their newborns ingested SD-NVP. Multivariate logistic regression showed that unmarried women, less educated women, women who made 2 or less antenatal care visits, and those offered HIV testing after their first antenatal care visit were more likely to be nonadherent to PMTCT prophylaxis. Not disclosing one's HIV status to someone aside from a partner was also associated with nonadherence in mother-infant pairs. CONCLUSIONS: Sociodemographic factors, health services delivery factors, and a lack of communication and social support contributed to nonadherence to PMTCT prophylaxis in Rwanda.
