Sentence examples for partial epidemic from inspiring English sources

The accuracy of classifying partial epidemic curves was higher for simulated epidemics with a higher reproduction number (R).

The parameters for a new epidemic are inferred by comparing the partial epidemic curve to the epidemic curves in the library.

The main aims of the study are therefore to: (i) compare the accuracy of the Dirichlet process model to that of random forest, which has been shown to achieve high accuracy in correctly classifying simulated epidemics based on the partial epidemic curve; (ii) forecast the epidemic peak time before the peak is observed and (iii) identify epidemic curves different from those in the library.

The effect of partial immunity on seasonal influenza epidemics has been studied through history-based formulations [33] [35] and status-based models [36], [37].

The authors speculate that a negative history of measles could be a marker for negative influenza history before 1918 and thus a higher risk of infection during the 1918 influenza epidemic because of the lack of partial influenza immunity.

So goes a very partial tasting menu of foods that have spawned epidemics over the last few years.

Alternative explanations for the multi-annual cycles of dengue epidemics have been proposed, such as partial cross-immunity among the four serotypes of dengue virus [ 16- 19].

We formulate an S I R (Susceptible, Infected, Immune) spatiotemporal epidemic model as a system of coupled parabolic partial differential equations with no-flux boundary conditions.

In order to more specifically identify factors influencing the proportion of minor epidemics (accounting for early extinction) we also calculate partial rank correlation coefficients (PRCC) for this variable.

Figure 4 shows the impact of simultaneous transmission of coinfections and antigenic diversity on the critical value of efficiency of partial transmission from coinfections (ϕ c ) for emergence of cyclical epidemics.

This is in agreement with our results shown in Figure 4(a): cyclical and chaotic epidemics are prohibited when simultaneous transmission of and partial transmission from coinfections are absent.
