Definitions
Infectious Disease
About a quarter of all deaths worldwide are due to infectious diseases(about 60% are due to non-communicable conditions)
An infectious disease is contagious if it is easily transmitted (from person to person)
Disease caused by invasion of the body by an agent
Pathogen, i.e. a microparasite that causes disease, e.g. a virus or bacterium
Agent
Agent may be transmitted by a vector (droplet, mosquito, etc.)
Vector

• Incubation (latent) period
• Prodromal (initial, pre-eruptive) period
• Overtly symptomatic (infectious) period
• Recovery period (no longer infectious)
Stages of an Infectious Disease (generic)
Depending on the disease, a person may or may not be ableto transmit the disease during incubation and prodromal periods
Relative infectiousness in the prodromal and the symptomaticperiods determine the optimal control strategy

Definitions
EpidemicOutbreak of an infectious disease affecting
a disproportionately large number of individuals in a population, community, or region within a short period of time
PandemicSpread of an epidemic to a large region (or worldwide)
An infectious disease is endemic when it is maintained in apopulation without the need for external inputs
Endemic

Transmission Factor R0(of the microparasite, also: basic reproduction number)
Infected primary individual is placed in a large susceptible populationR0: average number of secondary individuals infected by one primary case
(applicable in the early stages of an epidemic)
Reff = R0(1 ! p)Effective transmission factor (if a fraction p is immune):
Reff < 1 !" p > 1 !

R0
Critical fraction of the population that has to be immune to prevent epidemic

Why Mathematical Modeling?
Mathematical modeling is typically the only way toexamine the possible impact of different release and control scenarios
STRENGTHS AND BENEFITS
Questions that can be addressed:What fraction of the population should be quarantined and/or vaccinated?
How fast have control measures to be implemented?, etc.
Several important aspects of epidemics are difficult to quantify(e.g. response of population to certain events)
PROBLEMS
Simple models cannot capture the complexity of epidemics and their dynamicsComplex models are intransparent and difficult to validate

Assumptions and Simplifications(incomplete list)
Three groups: susceptible X(t), infectious Y(t), and recovering (immune) Z(t)
No age-dependency of variables and parameters
No incubation period (only one “infectious” group)
Total population constant (no deaths caused by disease): N = X(t) + Y(t) + Z(t)Constant mortality rate (“Type II survival”)
All susceptibles are equally at risk of infection (“weak homogeneous mixing”) All births into the susceptible class

About Smallpox
Lethality: about 30% (depending on many factors, some types > 98%)
Long incubation period: about 2-3 weeks (possibility of localized control measures)
Once endemic in humans; eradicated in 1979, primarily by mass vaccinationHumans are (or have been) only known host of virus
Agent: variola virusMode of transmission: infective droplets via face-to-face contact

About Smallpox
Vaccination may have severe side effects
Mass vaccination campaign likely to cause more deaths
than locally isolated smallpox epidemic
Temporary retention of samples (officially) in only two locations todayCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America (about 400 strains)
Russian State Centre for Research on Virology and Biotechnology, Koltsovo, Novosibirsk Region, Russian Federation (about 120 strains)
Destruction of samples originally scheduled for June 30, 1999
1947 smallpox incident in New York Cityone infectious person traveling to the city by bus from Mexico
mass vaccination of several million people

Outbreak Control OptionsBENEFITS DRAWBACKS
Minimizes use of vaccineContacts need to be found at an early
stage of incubation
Highly effective during eradication campaign (with background levels of
herd immunity high)Less effective in “mobile” society
Effective at stopping widespread dissemination; not dependent on
contact tracing
Large numbers have to be vaccinated quickly; unnecessary morbidity
and mortality
Useful for protecting first-responders; if used for entire population, no need
for rapid implementation
If used for entire population, high long-term costs and (unnecessary)
morbidity and mortality
Isolation and quarantine
Movement restrictions
Ring vaccination
Targeted (“local mass”) vaccination
Mass vaccination
Prophylactic vaccination
CONT
AINM
ENT
VACC
INAT
ION
Potentially useful in containinga small outbreak
Difficult to police, compromised by any “illegal” movements, coercive
Highly effective at reducing transmission from known cases
Needs adequate facilities; compulsory policy coercive; requires rapid
detection of cases

Concluding Remarks
Modeling can be a useful tool to identify a “credible” set of control optionsand to assess their relative effectiveness under certain conditions
In the event of an outbreak of an infectious disease:Real-time data collection and modeling
How much information would be available in the early stages of an epidemic?(potentially insufficient to “feed” the available models adequately)
There are no “single most efficient” response strategies
Modeling can also suggest certain trigger thresholds, i.e. when to escalate responses
