To address this gap, we develop county-level counts across five recent, consecutive fit series regression models these that account for bias. We find our...
Abstract Multinational epidemics of emerging infectious diseases are increasingly common, due to anthropogenic pressure on ecosystems and the growing connectivity human populations. Early efficient vaccination can contain outbreaks prevent mass mortality, but optimal vaccine stockpiling strategies dependent pathogen characteristics, reservoir ecology, epidemic dynamics. Here, we model major regional Nipah virus Middle East respiratory syndrome, use these develop a generalized framework for...
