BACKGROUND: The seasonal influenza epidemic poses a persistent and severe threat to global public health. Web-based search data are recognized as a valuable source for forecasting influenza or other respiratory tract infection epidemics. Current infl...
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arthropod-borne virus responsible for outbreaks of Oropouche fever (ORO) in Central and South America since the 1950s. Herein, we investigated the climatic and socioenvironmental factors contributing to the reemergence of...
The outbreak of infectious diseases can have profound impacts on socio-economic balances globally. Accurate short-term forecasting of infectious diseases is crucial for policymakers and healthcare systems. This study proposes a novel deep learning ap...
Infectious disease threats to individual and public health are numerous, varied and frequently unexpected. Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies, which are already supporting human decision making in economics, medicine and social sci...
Human mobility between different regions is a major factor in large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases. Deep learning models incorporating infectious disease transmission dynamics for predicting the spread of multi-regional outbreaks due to human...
Compartmental models provide simple and efficient tools to analyze the relevant transmission processes during an outbreak, to produce short-term forecasts or transmission scenarios, and to assess the impact of vaccination campaigns. However, their ca...

BACKGROUND: The global research on pandemics or epidemics and mental health has been growing exponentially recently, which cannot be integrated through traditional systematic review. Our study aims to systematically synthesize the evidence using natu...
Mathematical modeling of epidemic dynamics is crucial to understand its underlying mechanisms, quantify important parameters, and make predictions that facilitate more informed decision-making. There are three major types of models: mechanistic model...
In the midst of an outbreak or sustained epidemic, reliable prediction of transmission risks and patterns of spread is critical to inform public health programs. Projections of transmission growth or decline among specific risk groups can aid in opti...
