Abstract

The literature on the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases has grown enormously in recent years, both in quantity and quality. Here, we briefly point to the purposes of these modelling exercises and introduce the main ideas behind compartmental models, to act as a guide to the (bio)mathematical literature that is less directly accessible.

A genome-wide association study for susceptibility and infectivity of Holstein Friesian dairy cattle to digital dermatitis
2019, Journal of Dairy Science
Selection and breeding can be used to fight transmission of infectious diseases in livestock. The prevalence in a population depends on the susceptibility and infectivity of the animals. Knowledge on the genetic background of those traits would facilitate efficient selection for lower disease prevalence. We investigated the genetic background of host susceptibility and infectivity for digital dermatitis (DD), an endemic infectious claw disease in dairy cattle, with a genome-wide association study (GWAS), using either a simple linear mixed model or a generalized linear mixed model based on epidemiological theory. In total, 1,513 Holstein-Friesian cows of 12 Dutch dairy farms were scored for DD infection status and class (M0 to M4.1) every 2 wk for 11 times; 1,401 of these cows were genotyped with a 75k SNP chip. We performed a GWAS with a linear mixed model on 10 host disease status traits, and with a generalized linear mixed model with a complementary log-log link function (GLMM) on the probability that a cow would get infected between 2 scorings. With the GLMM, we fitted SNP effects for host susceptibility and host infectivity, while taking the variation in exposure of the susceptible cow to infectious herd mates into account. With the linear model we detected 4 suggestive SNP (false discovery rate < 0.20), 2 for the fraction of observations a cow had an active lesion on chromosomes 1 and 14, one for the fraction of observations a cow had an M2 lesion on at least one claw on chromosome 1 (the same SNP as for the fraction of observations with an active lesion), and one for the fraction of observations a cow had an M4.1 lesion on at least one claw on chromosome 10. Heritability estimates ranged from 0.09 to 0.37. With the GLMM we did not detect significant nor suggestive SNP. The SNP effects on disease status analyzed with the linear model had a correlation coefficient of only 0.70 with SNP effects on susceptibility of the GLMM, indicating that both models capture partly different effects. Because the GLMM better accounts for the epidemiological mechanisms determining individual disease status and for the distribution of the y-variable, results of the GLMM may be more reliable, despite the absence of suggestive associations. We expect that with an extended GLMM that better accounts for the full genetic variation in infectivity via the environment, the accuracy of SNP effects may increase.
Digital Dermatitis in dairy cattle: The contribution of different disease classes to transmission
2018, Epidemics
Digital Dermatitis (DD) is a claw disease mainly affecting the hind feet of dairy cattle. Digital Dermatitis is an infectious disease, transmitted via the environment, where the infectious “agent” is a combination of bacteria. The standardized classification for DD lesions developed by Döpfer et al. (1997) and extended by Berry et al. (2012) has six distinct classes: healthy (M0), an active granulomatous area of 0–2 cm (M1), an ulcerative lesion of >2 cm (M2), an ulcerative lesion covered by a scab (M3), alteration of the skin (M4), and a combination of M4 and M1 (M4.1).
We hypothesize that classes M1, M2, M3, M4, and M4.1 are the potentially infectious classes that can contribute to the basic reproduction ratio (R₀), the average number of new infections caused by a typical infected individual. Here, we determine differences in infectivity between the classes, the sojourn time in each of the classes, and the contribution of each class to R_0.
The analysis is based on data from twelve farms in the Netherlands that were visited every two weeks, eleven times.
We found that 93.89% of the transitions from M0 was observed as a transition to class M4, and feet with another class-at-infection rapidly transitioned to class M4. As a consequence, about 70% of the infectious time was spent in class M4. Transmission rate parameters of class-at-infection M1, M2, M3, and M4 were not significantly different from each other, but differed from class-at-infection M4.1. However, due to the relative large amount of time spend in class M4, regardless of the class-at-infection, R₀ was almost completely determined by this class. The R₀ was 2.36, to which class-at-infection M4 alone contributed 88.5%.
Thus, M4 lesions should be prevented to lower R₀ to a value below one, while painful M2 lesions should be prevented for animal welfare reasons.
The asymptotic behaviours of an epidemic model with two correlated stochastic perturbations
2012, Applied Mathematics and Computation
This paper mainly discussed the asymptotic dynamics of stochastic SI epidemic model and its improved model. Taking two stochastic disturbances into account in the deterministic model, in the form of Gaussian white noises, we obtained its invariant probability distribution by applying Fokker–Planck equation. We mainly focuses on the influence of the size of the correlation coefficient of two stochastic perturbations on stochastic epidemic model, under two stochastic disturbance, the correlative of two stochastic disturbances can affect the dynamics of the epidemic model, and the effects are different if we introduce the stochastic disturbance in different ways.
Combinatorial decomposition of an outbreak signature
2006, Mathematical Biosciences
We use mathematically rigorous definitions of epidemiological concepts in order to derive a sequential combinatorial model of disease outbreak decomposition. We define the idea of a population specific ‘disease signature’ and use this in order to decompose and further understand outbreaks as incidents of spatial and temporal spread of disease exposure both in, and across, populations. This allows us to differentiate between different disease spread scenarios with a level of sensitivity that previous models were unable to provide. This perspective leads us to propose a new practical definition for ‘outbreak’. In addition, we are able to use this model to understand, estimate, and, in some cases, correct for, the likely instances of reporting error inherent in disease surveillance.
We demonstrate our model first with a hypothetical outbreak scenario and then in an analysis of suspected outbreaks of waterborne diseases in Massachusetts (MA) in 1995.
Ruminating on complexity: Macroparasites of wildlife and livestock
2004, Trends in Ecology and Evolution
Recent advances in ecology have improved our understanding of the role of parasites in the dynamics of wildlife populations. However, conditions that prevail in many wildlife systems, such as host movement, contact with livestock, and heterogeneity in the environment of the parasite outside of the host, have largely been ignored in existing models of macroparasite transmission. We need to refine these models if we are to stand a chance of developing effective parasite control strategies. New quantitative approaches enable us to address key complexities and make better use of scarce data, and these should enhance our efforts to understand and control emerging problems of interspecific parasite transmission.
The asymptotic behaviour of a logistic epidemic model with stochastic disease transmission
1999, Applied Mathematics Letters
A simple model of the dynamics of an infectious disease, taking into account environmental variability in the form of Gaussian white noise in the disease transmission rate, has been investigated. The probability distribution for the proportion of infected animals, plus its mean, mode and variance are found explicitly. The results are presented using data from bovine tuberculosis in possum populations in New Zealand as an example.
