Future epidemics and/or pandemics may likely arise from zoonotic viruses with bat- and rodent-borne pathogens being among the prime candidates. To improve preparedness and prevention strategies, we predicted the global distribution of bat- and rodent...
BACKGROUND: Methods that enable early outbreak detection represent powerful tools in epidemiological surveillance, allowing adequate planning and timely response to disease surges. Syndromic surveillance data collected from primary healthcare encount...

BACKGROUND: Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) poses a significant global health risk due to its high case fatality rates (24%-88%) and the diagnostic challenges posed by its nonspecific early symptoms, which overlap with other febrile illnesses like malari...
BACKGROUND: Monkeypox, a viral zoonotic disease, is an emerging global health concern, with rising incidence and outbreaks extending beyond its endemic regions in Central and, West Africa and the world. The disease transmits through contact with infe...
Cholera, an acute diarrheal disease, is a serious concern in developing and underdeveloped areas. A qualitative understanding of cholera epidemics aims to foresee transmission patterns based on reported data and mechanistic models. The mechanistic mo...

Continual learning is the ability of a model to learn over time without forgetting previous knowledge. Therefore, adapting new data in dynamic fields like disease outbreak prediction is paramount. Deep neural networks are prone to error due to catast...
Forecasting the occurrence and absence of novel disease outbreaks is essential for disease management, yet existing methods are often context-specific, require a long preparation time, and non-outbreak prediction remains understudied. To address this...
BACKGROUND: Mumps is a viral respiratory disease characterized by facial swelling and transmitted through respiratory secretions. Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, mumps outbreaks have reemerged globally, including in China, where it ...
BACKGROUND: Controlling re-emerging outbreaks such as COVID-19 is a critical concern to global health. Disease forecasting solutions are extremely beneficial to public health emergency management. This work aims to design and deploy a framework for r...
