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...
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...
Timely detection of disease outbreaks is critical in public health. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can identify patterns in data that signal the onset of epidemics and pandemics. This scoping review examines the effectiveness of AI in epidemic and pan...

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...
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...
Complex networks are susceptible to contagious cascades, underscoring the urgency for effective epidemic mitigation strategies. While physical quarantine is a proven mitigation measure for mitigation, it can lead to substantial economic repercussions...
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...
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...
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...
