A symbolic investigation of superspreaders.
Superspreaders are an important phenomenon in the spread of infectious disease, accounting for a higher than average number of new infections in the population. We use mathematical models to compare the impact of supershedders and supercontacters on population dynamics. The stochastic, individual based models are investigated by conversion to deterministic, population level Mean Field Equations...

متن کاملEffects of Superspreaders in Spread of Epidemic
1. Introduction Spread of epidemic can be regarded as diffusion or random walk of disease on the fixed discrete elements. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) which spread around the world during 2003 is no exception. It is now believed that the sharp increase and decrease in the number of SARS patients was caused by the existence of superspreaders. According to WHO, the patients are define...
متن کاملNew Streaming Algorithms for Fast Detection of Superspreaders
High-speed monitoring of Internet traffic is an important and challenging problem, with applications to real-time attack detection and mitigation, traffic engineering, etc. However, packet-level monitoring requires fast streaming algorithms that use very little memory space and little communication among collaborating network monitoring points. In this paper, we consider the problem of detectin...
متن کاملEnv-less endogenous retroviruses are genomic superspreaders.
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) differ from typical retroviruses in being inherited through the host germline and therefore are a unique combination of pathogen and selfish genetic element. Some ERV lineages proliferate by infecting germline cells, as do typical retroviruses, whereas others lack the env gene required for virions to enter cells and thus behave like retrotransposons. We wished to ...
