23/08/19 AARMS-EIDM Summer School on Modelling Infectious Diseases
Organizer: Dr. A. Hurford, Dates: August 19-31, 2023, Venue: Bonne Bay Aquarium and Research Station (BBARS), Newfoundland and Labrador (NL).The AARMS-EIDM Short Summer School on Modelling Infectious Diseases aims to fulfil a deliverable listed in the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) support letter for 3 networks in the Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling Initiative (EIDM) Consortium: to run an AARMS summer school.

Description

  • The theme of the EIDM short summer school is Modelling Disease Importations. Importations can be modelled as depending on traffic flow to a destination, and infection prevalence at the source. After arrival, spread of infection in the destination population depends on local immunity, local non-pharmaceutical interventions, and the size of the community. We will also investigate theoretical connections between zoonotic spillover, i.e., the probability that infection establishes and spreads in a new species, and importation modelling that considers infection establishment and spread in a new geographic region.
  • The delivery will be a combination of lectures, guest lectures, and a series of short team projects that build towards larger team projects, and generate new novel insights on the topic of Modelling Disease Importations. A focus on projects is to capitalize on the unique venue for intensive, collaborative, in-person work.

Lecture topic list

General topics (any of the 5 instructors)

  • Basic ordinary differential equation model analysis
  • Bifurcations
  • Model parameterization, uncertainty, and assumptions
  • Modelling in R
  • Elementary stochastic processes
  • Gillespie SSA

Advanced topics

  • Importation modelling (Arino)
  • Metapopulations (Arino)
