Our findings imply that Omicron's transmissibility is 1.5–1.8 times higher than that of Delta in terms of viral transmission. This is lower than the value reported by other studies, which claim that Omicron has a transmissibility 2.5 to 4 higher than …
The annual incidence of SFTS increased year on year in Liaoning Province. Incidence of SFTS was affected by several meteorological factors, including monthly average air pressure, monthly average temperature, and monthly average wind speed.
**Objectives:** Computing the basic reproduction number (R 0) in deterministic dynamical models is a hot topic and is frequently demanded by researchers in public health. The next-generation methods (NGM) are widely used for such computation, …
This study aimed to explore whether the transmission routes of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) will be affected by tick density and meteorological factors, and to explore the factors that affect the transmission of SFTS. We used …
**Objective** Mumps is a seasonal infectious disease, always occurring in winter and spring. In this study, we aim to analyze its epidemiological characteristics, transmissibility, and its correlation with meteorological variables. **Method** A …
Background: Hand-Foot-and-Mouth-Disease (HFMD) has been widely spread in Asia, and has result in a high disease burden for children in many countries. However, the dissemination characteristics intergroup and between different age groups are still …
**Background**: In this study, we aimed to quantify the contribution of different transmission routes of the MiddleEast respiratory syndrome (MERS) and determine its transmissibility. **Methods**: Based on the natural history and transmission …
