HIGHLIGHTS Climate change affects human infectious disease via pathogen, host and transmission. Go beyond the empirical observation of association between climate health effect. Improve prediction associated changes in diseases at various scales. Health impacts can be controlled by taking certain proactive measures.

Infectious diseases remain a substantial public health concern as they are among the leading causes of death. Immunization by vaccination can reduce infectious diseases-related risk suffering and Many countries have developed COVID-19 vaccines in past two years to control pandemic. Due an urgent need for vaccines, vaccine administration is mode emergency use authorization facilitate availabilit...

Globalization has facilitated the spread of numerous infectious agents to all corners of the planet. Analysis of the Global Infectious Disease and Epidemiology Network (GIDEON) database quantitatively illustrates that the globalization of human infectious agents depends significantly on the range of hosts used. Infectious agents specific to humans are broadly and uniformly distributed, whereas ...

Social network analysis is now widely used to investigate the dynamics of infectious disease spread. Vaccination dramatically disrupts disease transmission on a contact network, and indeed, high vaccination rates can potentially halt disease transmission altogether. Here, we build on mounting evidence that health behaviors - such as vaccination, and refusal thereof - can spread across social ne...

Background: Developing methods to reconstruct transmission histories for viral outbreaks could provide critical information to support locating sources of disease transmission. Phylogenetic methods used to measure the degree of relatedness among sequenced viral samples have proven useful in identifying potential outbreak sources. The complex nature of infectious disease, however, makes it diffi...

Microbial and infectious disease risk models and tools are used to assess infectious hazards in the environment and to identify strategies to prevent or reduce these hazards. Although risk modeling of infectious threats represents a promising approach in applied epidemiology, there are inherent limitations to most models because of the multifactorial nature of the transmission of infections, th...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal disease of deer, elk, and moose transmitted through direct, animal-to-animal contact, and indirectly, via environmental contamination. Considerable attention has been paid to modeling direct transmission, but despite the fact that CWD prions can remain infectious in the environment for years, relatively little information exists about the potential effec...

Mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission aims to predict the spread of infection and the effectiveness of containment strategies. For the case of infectious diseases that transmit between human, one key factor becomes the modeling of contacts between individuals through which the disease is potentially transmitted. We review several formulations of such contacts with emphasis on...

Infectious disease remains, despite centuries of work to control and mitigate its effects, a major problem facing humanity. This paper reviews the mathematical modelling of infectious disease epidemics on networks, starting from the simplest Erdös-Rényi random graphs, and building up structure in the form of correlations, heterogeneity and preference, paying particular attention to the links be...
