Geographic profiling as a novel spatial tool for targeting infectious disease control
BACKGROUND Geographic profiling is a statistical tool originally developed in criminology to prioritise large lists of suspects in cases of serial crime. Here, we use two data sets--one historical and one modern--to show how it can be used to locate the sources of infectious disease. RESULTS First, we re-analyse data from a classic epidemiological study, the 1854 London cholera outbreak. Usin...
متن کاملAcoustic correlated sources direction finding in the presence of unknown spatial correlation noise
In this paper, a new method is proposed for DOA estimation of correlated acoustic signals, in the presence of unknown spatial correlation noise. By generating a matrix from the signal subspace with the Hankel-SVD method, the correlated resource information is extracted from each eigen-vector. Then a joint-diagonalization structure is constructed of the signal subspace and basis it, independent...
متن کاملAwareness programs control infectious disease - Multiple delay induced mathematical model
5 We propose and analyze a mathematical model to study the impact of awareness programs on an infec6 tious disease outbreak. These programs induce behavioral changes in the population, which divide the 7 susceptible class into two subclasses, aware susceptible and unaware susceptible. The system can have a 8 disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium. The expression of the basic reprod...
متن کاملIdentifying Future Disease Hot Spots: Infectious Disease Vulnerability Index.
Recent high-profile outbreaks, such as Ebola and Zika, have illustrated the transnational nature of infectious diseases. Countries that are most vulnerable to such outbreaks might be higher priorities for technical support. RAND created the Infectious Disease Vulnerability Index to help U.S. government and international agencies identify these countries and thereby inform programming to preempt...
متن کاملMeasuring Spatial Dependence for Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Global spatial clustering is the tendency of points, here cases of infectious disease, to occur closer together than expected by chance. The extent of global clustering can provide a window into the spatial scale of disease transmission, thereby providing insights into the mechanism of spread, and informing optimal surveillance and control. Here the authors present an interpretable measure of s...
