Hi, Alfredo.
In the past, we have modeled a variety of influenza strains, some more
virulent than others. We have conducted simulations of infections of
influenza A & B, avian influenza, as well as smallpox, anthrax, pneumonic
plague and bubonic plague in a series of previous studies.
The vectors of disease spread emerge from the person-person interactions as
EpiSims simulates the second-to-second movements and activities of all
people in the region of interest. These interactions occur in the work
place, at home, while shopping, during recreational activities, while
commuting, etc. The vectors of disease spread are of course studied for
insight into potential intervention strategies.
EpiSims can be used to model the spread of any infectious agent whose human
health characteristics can be captured by a Markov chain state
representation.
Regards,
--Doug
