TL;DR: It is found that border restrictions and/or internal travel restrictions are unlikely to delay spread by more than 2–3 weeks unless more than 99% effective, and vaccine stockpiled in advance of a pandemic could significantly reduce attack rates even if of low efficacy.

TL;DR: The methods used to generate the synthesized population database and the final data structure and data content of the database are described to provide researchers with the information they need to use the database in developing agent-based models.

TL;DR: An agent-based model computer simulation of New York City’s five boroughs was developed that incorporated subway ridership into a Susceptible–Exposed–Infected–Recovered disease model framework, estimating that if influenza did occur in NYC with the characteristics of the 1957–1958 pandemic, 4% of transmissions would occur on the subway.

TL;DR: Protecting health care workers: a pandemic simulation based on Allegheny County and Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 4(2), 61–72 is cited.

TL;DR: It is found that forest loss in PAs is most commonly—and increasingly—followed by shrubland, a broad category that could represent re-growing forest, agricultural fallows, or pasture lands in some regional contexts.
