  • An Epidemiological Network Model for Disease

    Thank you for this Snowy Owl -

    "Understanding and monitoring large-scale disease patterns
    is critical for planning and directing public-health responses
    during pandemics [1?5]. In order to address the growing
    threats of global infectious disease pandemics such as
    influenza [6], severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) [7],
    and bioterrorism [8], advanced disease-surveillance systems
    have been deployed worldwide to monitor epidemiological
    data such as hospital visits [9,10], pharmaceutical orders [11],
    and laboratory tests [12]. Improving the overall detection
    capabilities of these systems can have a wide practical impact.
    Furthermore, it would be beneficial to reduce the vulnerability
    of many of these systems to shifts in health-care
    utilization that can occur during public-health emergencies
    such as epidemics and pandemics [13?15] or during major
    public events [16]."
