Estimating intervention effects on infectious disease control: The effect of community mobility reduction on Coronavirus spread

Spatial Statistics, 52, 100711.

By: A. Giffin n, W. Gong n, S. Majumder*, A. Rappold*, B. Reich n  & S. Yang n 

Contributors: A. Giffin n, W. Gong n, S. Majumder*, A. Rappold*, B. Reich n  & S. Yang n 

author keywords: Causal inference; COVID-19; Spatiotemporal modeling; SIR model
topics (OpenAlex): COVID-19 epidemiological studies; COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts; Vaccine Coverage and Hesitancy
TL;DR: A spatiotemporal model is proposed that estimates the causal effect of changes in community mobility (intervention) on infection rates and suggests that the reductions in mobility decrease Coronavirus cases 4 to 7 weeks after the intervention. (via Semantic Scholar)

Giffin, A., Hoppin, J. A., Córdoba, L., Solano-Díaz, K., Ruepert, C., Peñaloza-Castañeda, J., … Joode, B. (2022, May 30). Environment International, Vol. 8.

Contributors: A. Giffin n, J. Hoppin n , L. Cordoba *, K. Solano-Diaz *, C. Ruepert *, J. Penaloza-Castaneda*, C. Lindh *, B. Reich n , B. Wendel Joode *

author keywords: Urinary pesticide metabolites; Airborne pesticide exposure; Spatiotemporal model; Environmental exposure; Pesticides; Insecticides; Fungicides
topics (OpenAlex): Pesticide Exposure and Toxicity; Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact; Carcinogens and Genotoxicity Assessment
TL;DR: The results suggest inhalation of pyrimethanil and chlorpyrifos is a pathway of environmental exposure, and passive air samplers seems a useful technique to monitor environmental current-use pesticide exposures. (via Semantic Scholar)

Contributors: A. Vargas *, J. Castaneda*, E. Liljedahl *, A. Mora *, J. Menezes-Filho *, D. Smith *, D. Mergler *, B. Reich n  ...

author keywords: Thyroid function; Endocrine disruptors; Pesticides; Metals; Latin America
MeSH headings : Bayes Theorem; Costa Rica; Environmental Exposure / adverse effects; Female; Humans; Infant; Lead / adverse effects; Manganese / adverse effects; Pesticides / adverse effects; Pregnancy; Pregnant Women; Thyroid Gland / physiopathology; Thyrotropin; Thyroxine; Triiodothyronine
topics (OpenAlex): Heavy Metal Exposure and Toxicity; Pesticide Exposure and Toxicity; Mercury impact and mitigation studies
TL;DR: Mancozeb (ETU) and pyrimethanil may inhibit FT4 secretion (hypothyroidism-like effect), while chlorpyrifos, pyrethroids, MnB, MnH, PbB and Mn showed hyperthyroidism -like effects. (via Semantic Scholar)
