Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of delays on effectiveness of contact tracing strategies for COVID-19: a modelling study.
Mirjam Kretzschmar,Ganna Rozhnova,Ganna Rozhnova,Martin C. J. Bootsma,Martin C. J. Bootsma,Michiel van Boven,Janneke van de Wijgert,Janneke van de Wijgert,Marc J. M. Bonten,Marc J. M. Bonten +9 more
TL;DR: The impact of timeliness and completeness in various steps of a contact tracing strategy is evaluated using a stochastic mathematical model with explicit time delays between time of infection and symptom onset and between symptom onset, diagnosis by testing, and isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avian Influenza A Virus (H7N7) Epidemic in The Netherlands in 2003: Course of the Epidemic and Effectiveness of Control Measures
Arjan Stegeman,Annemarie Bouma,Armin R.W. Elbers,Mart C.M. de Jong,Gonnie Nodelijk,Fred de Klerk,Guus Koch,Michiel van Boven +7 more
TL;DR: The observation that Rh remained >1 suggests that the containment of the epidemic was probably due to the reduction in the number of susceptible flocks by complete depopulation of the infected areas rather than to the reduce of the transmission by the other control measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Maps for the Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Poultry
G.J. Boender,Thomas J. Hagenaars,Annemarie Bouma,Gonnie Nodelijk,A.R.W. Elbers,Mart C.M. de Jong,Michiel van Boven +6 more
TL;DR: The analyses provide an estimate of the spatial range over which highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses spread between farms, and emphasize that control measures aimed at controlling such outbreaks need to take into account the local density of farms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herd immunity to Newcastle disease virus in poultry by vaccination
TL;DR: In this article, the requirements of an epidemiologically effective vaccination program against Newcastle disease in poultry, based on data from experimental transmission studies, were studied and the implications for the control of Newcastle disease by vaccination were discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing infectious disease interventions during an emerging epidemic.
TL;DR: First principles for allocating scarce resources with limited data are presented and it is shown that under a broad class of assumptions, the simple rule of targeting intervention measures at the group with the highest risk of infection per individual will achieve the largest reduction in the transmission potential of a novel infection.
