Environmentally transmitted diseases are comparatively poorly understood and managed,
and their ecology is particularly understudied. Here we identify challenges of studying …

SARS-CoV-2 is difficult to contain because many transmissions occur during pre-
symptomatic infection. Unlike influenza, most SARS-CoV-2-infected people do not transmit …

Background: Respiratory tract infections are major contributors to the global disease burden.
Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) holds potential as a rapidly deployable …

Background Fomite mediated transmission can be an important pathway causing significant
disease transmission in number of settings such as schools, daycare centers, and long-term …

Israel experienced an outbreak of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) in 2013–2014, detected
through environmental surveillance of the sewage system. No cases of acute flaccid …

New COVID-19 variants, either of higher viral load such as delta or higher contagiousness
like omicron, can lead to higher airborne transmission than historical strains. This paper …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 can persist on surfaces, suggesting
possible surface-mediated transmission of this pathogen. We found that fomites might be a …

In this paper, a noninteger order Brucellosis model is developed by employing the Caputo–
Fabrizio noninteger order operator. The approach of noninteger order calculus is quite new …

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic highlighted the need for more rapid and routine
application of modeling approaches such as quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) …

This study was designed to investigate the impact of meteorological indicators (temperature,
rainfall, and humidity) on total COVID-19 cases in Pakistan, its provinces, and administrative …
