Human-vector malaria transmission model structured by age, time since infection and waning immunity

Quentin Richard et al.

Summary: This paper studies an age-structured model containing three structural variables in the context of malaria transmission, analyzing the well-posedness of the model using integrated semigroups theory and discussing the existence of steady-states. The derivation of the basic reproduction number R-0 highlights the impact of structural variables on key epidemiological traits of the human-vector association. The theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.

A global assessment of the impact of school closure in reducing COVID-19 spread

Joseph T. Wu et al.

Summary: Prolonged school closure has been widely implemented worldwide to control COVID-19, but research from China suggests that school children have a lower susceptibility to the virus compared to adults and the elderly. Using surveillance data and transmission models, it was found that school closures were less effective in reducing COVID-19 transmission due to the lower infection risk among school children. These findings, along with evidence of milder COVID-19 symptoms in children, suggest that long-term school closure may not be the ideal primary intervention for controlling the pandemic.

Simulating the spread of COVID-19 via a spatially-resolved susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered-deceased (SEIRD) model with heterogeneous diffusion

Alex Viguerie et al.

Summary: The study introduces an SEIRD mathematical model to describe the spatiotemporal spread of COVID-19, validated through comparison with data from the Lombardy region in Italy. The simulations show qualitative agreement with the epidemiological data in the region, highlighting factors to consider in reopening strategies and local dynamics.

Predictions of COVID-19 dynamics in the UK: Short-term forecasting and analysis of potential exit strategies

Matt J. Keeling et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the effectiveness of control measures for COVID-19 in the UK and proposes three different exit strategies. The findings suggest that stringent non-pharmaceutical measures in March effectively suppressed the epidemic, while subsequent waves of infection underline the need for a robust exit strategy.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

Risk of mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern 202012/1: matched cohort study

Robert Challen et al.

Summary: The study found that the mortality hazard ratio associated with infection with VOC-202012/1 compared with previously circulating variants was 1.64, indicating an increase in deaths from 2.5 to 4.1 per 1000 detected cases in comparatively low risk group of covid-19 patients in the community. This suggests that infection with VOC-202012/1 may lead to substantial additional mortality compared with previously circulating variants, impacting healthcare capacity planning and control policies.

Age-structured non-pharmaceutical interventions for optimal control of COVID-19 epidemic

Quentin Richard et al.

Summary: In an epidemic, individuals can spread the infection differently based on age and time since infection. Non-pharmaceutical interventions are crucial in the absence of drugs. Using optimal control theory, an age-stratified control strategy can be identified to minimize deaths and associated costs.

Vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions for COVID-19: a mathematical modelling study

Sam Moore et al.

Summary: The study found that vaccination alone is insufficient to contain the outbreak. Even with an optimistic assumption that the vaccine can prevent 85% of infections, the reproduction number (R) is estimated to be 1.58 once all eligible adults have been offered both doses of the vaccine without non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs).

Nathanael Hoze et al.

Summary: Through joint analysis of age-stratified seroprevalence, hospitalisation, and case data, the study estimated the proportion of adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 in France, revealing large regional variations in infection rates, with higher rates among individuals aged 20-49.

Rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in some French regions, June 2021

Samuel Alizon et al.

Summary: The study found rapid growth of the Delta variant in three metropolitan regions of France, with an estimated transmission advantage of +79% compared with the Alpha variant. The coming weeks will be crucial, as the magnitude of the estimated transmission advantage of the Delta variant could pose a major challenge for public health authorities.

SARS-CoV-2 virulence evolution: Avirulence theory, immunity and trade-offs

Samuel Alizon et al.

Summary: This review discusses the resurgence of the debate on whether host-parasite interactions should evolve towards avirulence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows that SARS-CoV-2 virulence is evolving and explains why some expect mortality caused by the epidemic to converge with that of human seasonal alphacoronaviruses. The review includes viral evolution theories, hypotheses regarding increased virulence, and potential scenarios for the future.

Role of meteorological factors in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States

Yiqun Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that lower air temperature, lower specific humidity, and lower ultraviolet radiation were significantly associated with increased transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, with humidity playing the largest role. In total, 17.5% of R-t was attributable to meteorological factors, with higher attributions in northern counties than in southern counties.

Memory is key in capturing COVID-19 epidemiological dynamics

Mircea T. Sofonea et al.

Summary: The study developed a parsimonious discrete-time model to analyze the spread of COVID-19 in France, estimating key epidemiological parameters and the impact of lockdown implementation delay. By incorporating memory effects into the model, the accuracy of fitting epidemiological data was greatly improved.

A modelling study investigating short and medium-term challenges for COVID-19 vaccination: From prioritisation to the relaxation of measures

Cecile Tran Kiem et al.

Summary: The study suggests that prioritizing at-risk individuals can reduce disease burden, with age being the most important factor for prioritization. Considering comorbidities can also improve the efficacy of vaccination campaigns in a resource-limited context. High vaccination coverage may be needed to completely relax control measures, and vaccination of children could help lower coverage targets.

First-dose mRNA vaccination is sufficient to reactivate immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 in subjects who have recovered from COVID-19

Alessio Mazzoni et al.

Summary: The study suggests that COVID-19-recovered individuals may not need a second vaccine dose to further enhance immune response, while naive individuals require a second dose for increased immunity. This indicates that redirecting vaccine doses from COVID-19-recovered individuals to naive individuals could shorten the time to achieve herd immunity.
