Some theoretical/modeling challenges • Individual and Agent Based Models--what can they do? • Mean Field or Deterministic Approaches--how do we average? • Space? Physical or sociological? • Classical approaches (PDEs, meta-population models) or network/graph theoretic approaches • Large scale simulations--how much detail? ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI

Critical Response Time in FMD epidemics A. L. Rivas, S. Tennenbaum, C. Castillo-Chávez et al.{American Journal of Veterinary Research}(Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research)
It is critical to determine the time needed and available to implement a successful intervention.
: 1-5 cases (1- 7 days post-onset) 1-5 cases (8-14 days post-onset) 3 2 1 The context--Foot and Mouth Disease BRAZIL ARGENT .INA ATLANTIC OCEAN
“exponential”growth Daily cases in the first month of the epidemic Number of daily cases
The Basic Reproductive Number R0 R0is the average number of secondary cases generated by an infectious unit when it is introduced into a susceptible population (at demographic steady state) of the same units. If R0 >1 then an epidemic is expected to occur--number of infected units increases If R0 < 1 then the number of secondary infections is not enough to sustain an apidemic. The goal of public health interventions is to reduce R0 to a number below 1. However, timing is an issue! How fast do we need to respond? ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI
Estimated CRTs for implementing intervention(s) resulting in R_o <= 1 (successful intervention) 3.0 days 2.6 days 1.4 days

Effects of Behavioral Changes in a Smallpox Attack Model Impact of behavioral changes on response logistics and public policy (appeared in Mathematical Biosciences, 05) Sara Del Valle1,2 Herbert Hethcote2, Carlos Castillo-Chavez1,3, Mac Hyman1 1Los Alamos National Laboratory 2University of Iowa 3Cornell University ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI
MODEL • All individuals are susceptible • The population is divided into two groups: normally active and less active • No vital dynamics included (single outbreak) • Disease progression: Exposed (latent) and Infectious • News of a smallpox outbreak leads to the implementation of the following interventions: • Quarantine • Isolation • Vaccination (ring and mass vaccination) • Behavioral changes (3 levels: high, medium & low) ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI
The Model The subscript refers to normally active (n) or less active (l): Susceptibles (S), Exposed (E), Infectious (I), Vaccinated (V), Quarantined (Q), Isolated (W), Recovered (R), Dead (D) Sn En In R Q W V S E I Sl El Il D ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI
The Model • The behavioral change rates are modeled by a non-negative, bounded, monotone increasing function i(for i =S, E, I) given by with ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI

Conclusions • Behavioral changes play a key role. • Integrated control policies are most effective: behavioral changes and vaccination have a huge impact. • Delays are bad. ASU/SUMS/MTBI/SFI

Vaccination Strategies • Vaccinate civilian health-care and public health workers • Ring vaccination (Trace vaccination) • Mass vaccination • Mass vaccination if ring vaccination fails • Integrated approaches likely to be most effective
Assumptions • The population is divided into N neighborhoods; • Epidemiologically each individual is in one of four status: susceptible, exposed, infectious, and recovered; • A person is either a subway user or not • A ``vaccinated” class is included--everybody who is successfully vaccinated is sent to the recovered class
Proportionate mixing K subpopulations with densities N1(t), N2(t), …, Nk(t) at time t. cl : the average number of contacts per individual, per unit time among members of the lth subgroup. Pij : the probability that an i-group individual has a contact with a j-group individual given that it had a contact with somebody.
Proportionate mixing (Mixing Axioms) (1) Pij >0 (2) (3) ci Ni Pij = cj Nj Pji Then is the only separable solution satisfying (1) , (2), and (3).
Definitions the mixing probability between non-subway users from neighborhood i given that they mixed. the mixing probability of non-subway and subway users from neighborhood i, given that they mixed. the mixing probability of subway and non-subway users from neighborhood i, given that they mixed. the mixing probability between subway users from neighborhood i, given that they mixed. the mixing probability between subway users from neighborhoods i and j, given that they mixed. the mixing probability between non-subway users from neighborhoods i and j, given that they mixed. the mixing probability between non-subway user from neighborhood i and subway users from neighborhood j, given that they mixed.
