Metapopulation Model from Pathogen's Perspective: A Versatile Framework to Quantify Pathogen Transfer and Circulation between Environment and Hosts

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 9.

By: S. Chen*, C. Lanzas n , C. Lee *, G. Zenarosa *, A. Arif * & M. Dulin*

MeSH headings : Algorithms; Cross Infection / prevention & control; Cross Infection / transmission; Disinfection; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Humans; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metapopulation models serve as an ideal modeling framework to characterize and quantify pathogen transfer between environment and hosts and unifies host, pathogen, and environment, collectively known as the epidemiological triad, a fundamental concept in epidemiology.

Season-Long Monitoring of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Throughout the United States Using Commercially Available Traps and Lures

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 113(1), 159–171.

By: A. Acebes-Doria *, A. Agnello *, D. Alston*, H. Andrews*, E. Beers *, J. Bergh *, R. Bessin*, B. Blaauw * ...

author keywords: pheromone trap; sticky trap; pyramid trap; invasive species
MeSH headings : Animals; Heteroptera; Nymph; Pheromones; Population Density; Seasons; United States
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sticky traps offer a simpler alternative to pyramid traps, but both can be reliable tools to monitor H. halys in different geographical locations with varying population densities throughout the season. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Investigating behavioral drivers of seasonal Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia Coli (STEC) patterns in grazing cattle using an agent-based model

PLOS ONE, 13(10).

By: D. Dawson n, J. Keung*, M. Napoles*, M. Vella *, S. Chen n, M. Sanderson*, C. Lanzas n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / microbiology; Cattle Diseases / transmission; Drinking Behavior / physiology; Escherichia coli Infections / microbiology; Escherichia coli Infections / transmission; Escherichia coli Infections / veterinary; Escherichia coli O157 / pathogenicity; Feces / microbiology; Herbivory / physiology; Seasons; Weather
TL;DR: A spatially explicit agent-based model was constructed that accounted for the effect of temperature fluctuations on cattle behavior and its effect on pathogen survival in the environment, and model simulations indicated that factors influencing cattle aggregation, such as temperature, were likely strong drivers of transmission dynamics of enteric pathogens.

Pathogen transfer through environment-host contact: an agent-based queueing theoretic framework

MATHEMATICAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY-A JOURNAL OF THE IMA, 35(3), 409–425.

By: S. Chen n, S. Lenhart  n, J. Day *, C. Lee *, M. Dulin* & C. Lanzas n 

author keywords: queueing theory; pathogen transfer and decay; environment-host contact; agent-based model; health care contact process; model framework
MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Cross Infection / transmission; Disease Transmission, Infectious; Environmental Exposure; Host-Pathogen Interactions / physiology; Humans; Mathematical Concepts; Models, Biological; Nonlinear Dynamics; Stochastic Processes; Systems Theory
TL;DR: A flexible and customizable queueing theory modelling framework with three major subroutines to study the in-hospital contact processes between environments and hosts and potential nosocomial pathogen transfer, where environments are servers and hosts are customers. (via Semantic Scholar)

Basic Reproduction Number and Transmission Dynamics of Common Serogroups of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 82(18), 5612–5620.

By: S. Chen n, M. Sanderson*, C. Lee *, N. Cernicchiaro *, D. Renter * & C. Lanzas n 

MeSH headings : Adhesins, Bacterial / genetics; Animals; Basic Reproduction Number; Cattle; Cross-Sectional Studies; Disease Transmission, Infectious; Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli / classification; Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli / isolation & purification; Environmental Exposure; Escherichia coli Infections / epidemiology; Escherichia coli Infections / microbiology; Escherichia coli Infections / transmission; Escherichia coli Infections / veterinary; Escherichia coli Proteins / genetics; O Antigens / analysis; Prevalence; Serogroup; Shiga Toxins / genetics; United States / epidemiology
TL;DR: A Bayesian modeling framework is described to estimate basic reproduction numbers of multiple serotypes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli according to a cross-sectional study and can be readily expanded to other pathogen systems in order to estimate the pathogen and external factors that influence spread of infectious agents.
