  Dinámica de transmisión y modelos matemáticos en enfermedadestransmitidas por vectores

  , Entomotropica, Vol: 19, Pages: 113-134, ISSN: 1317-5262

  Modern theory on the dynamics of infectious diseases is infl uenced by ecological theory, especially by demography. Th e study of these dynamicsusing mathematical models has had a staggering development in recent years, and has proven to be a valuable tool to understand epidemiologicalpatterns and processes, provided that models are as close as possible to real life situations and based on biological knowledge. We discuss thebasic concepts of the transmission dynamics of infectious agents aff ecting a host and an insect vector. We specifi cally study mathematicalmodels for the dynamics of human malaria in both spatially homogeneous and fragmented environments. Models for the dynamics of humanonchocerciasis are also presented. Finally we discuss the results and their basic and applied importance.

  Real-time epidemiology: Understanding the spread of SARS.

  , Signif (Oxf), Vol: 1, Pages: 176-179, ISSN: 1740-9705

  Fitting transmission models to outbreak data allows key epidemiological parameters to be estimated and the impact of control measures to be evaluated. Christl Donnelly and Azra Ghani describe the use of such models in the 2003 SARS epidemic in Hong Kong.

  Public health interventions and SARS spread 2003

  , Emerging Infectious Diseases, Vol: 10, Pages: 1900-1906, ISSN: 1080-6040

  The 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was contained largely through traditional public health interventions, such as finding and isolating patients, quarantining close contacts, and enhanced infection control. The independent effectiveness of measures to “increase social distance” and wearing masks in public places requires further evaluation. Limited data exist on the effectiveness of providing health information to travelers. Entry screening of travelers through health declarations or thermal scanning at international borders had little documented effect on detecting SARS cases; exit screening appeared slightly more effective. The value of border screening in deterring travel by ill persons and in building public confidence remains unquantified. Interventions to control global epidemics should be based on expert advice from the World Health Organization and national authorities. In the case of SARS, interventions at a country’s borders should not detract from efforts to identify and isolate infected persons within the country, monitor or quarantine their contacts, and strengthen infection control in healthcare settings.
