TLDR
It is estimated that a single infectious case of SARS will infect about three secondary cases in a population that has not yet instituted control measures, and public-health efforts to reduce transmission are expected to have a substantial impact on reducing the size of the epidemic.Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a recently described illness of humans that has spread widely over the past 6 months. With the use of detailed epidemiologic data from Singapore and epidemic curves from other settings, we estimated the reproductive number for SARS in the absence of interventions and in the presence of control efforts. We estimate that a single infectious case of SARS will infect about three secondary cases in a population that has not yet instituted control measures. Public-health efforts to reduce transmission are expected to have a substantial impact on reducing the size of the epidemic.read more

Comparative Analysis of Early Dynamic Trends in Novel Coronavirus Outbreak: A Modeling Framework
TL;DR: Model prediction results suggested that COVID-19 will be contained around the end of February 2020 in China, suggesting that public health interventions implemented at both the social and personal levels are effective in preventing outbreaks of CO VID-19 in Wuhan and other provinces.

Mathematical Immunology of Infectious Diseases
TL;DR: World is currently in grips of two concurrent pandemics: HIV and H1N1 influenza, and ability to overcome these limitations to mitigate the burden of infectious diseases rests on better insights into the functioning of immune system, especially the nature of its interaction with specific pathogens.

TL;DR: An integrated modelling approach is proposed that synthesizes historical demographic and vaccination data with real-time outbreak surveillance via a dynamic transmission model and an age-specific disease confirmation model to evaluate the likelihood that candidate age-targeted interventions could control the measles outbreak in São Paulo, Brazil.

Analysis of the Predator–Prey Interactions: A Stochastic Model Incorporating Disease Invasion
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical system was developed to investigate the impacts of environmental noise and infectious diseases on predator-prey interactions, and the globally unique positive solution was confirmed by using conventional methods.

TL;DR: A novel coronavirus is associated with this outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, and the evidence indicates that this virus has an etiologic role in SARS.

Seasonal variation in host susceptibility and cycles of certain infectious diseases.
TL;DR: Ample evidence indicates that photoperiod-driven physiologic changes are typical in mammalian species, including some in humans, and underlie human resistance to infectious diseases for large portions of the year and the changes can be identified and modified, the therapeutic and preventive implications may be considerable.
