The incidence of dengue fever (DF) has increased 30 fold between 1960 and 2010. The literature suggests that temperature plays a major role in the life cycle of the mosquito vector and in turn, the timing of DF outbreaks. We use real-time data from GDT and real-time temperature estimates from... Read more

Epidemiologists, public health agencies and scientists increasingly augment traditional surveillance systems with alternative data sources such as, digital surveillance systems utilizing news reports and social media, over-the-counter medication sales, and school absenteeism. Similar to school... Read more

Methods for locating spatial clusters of diseases are typically variations of the circular scan statistic method. They restrict the number of potential clusters by considering all circular, rectangular, or elliptical regions, and then apply a likelihood ratio test to evaluate the statistical... Read more

School closure has long been proposed as a non-pharmaceutical intervention in reducing the transmission of pandemic influenza. Children are thought to have high transmission potential because of their low immunity to circulating influenza viruses and high contact rates. In the wake of pandemic (... Read more
