Spatial outbreak detection analysis tool : a system to create sets of semi-synthetic geo-spatial clusters
… software systems, have emerged as the leading outbreak detection mechanisms. Early outbreak detection systems can assist with medical and logistic decision support. One important concern for effectively testing these systems in practice is the scarcity of authentic outbreak health data. Because …

High-throughput profiling of viral class I fusion proteins via mammalian antigen display
… While modern technologies enable early outbreak detection, mitigating the burden of future outbreaks requires a deep understanding of infection mechanisms, rapid characterization of viral antigens responsible for host cell entry, identification and profiling of vaccine candidates, and …

An outcome-based statistical framework to select and optimize molecular clustering methods for infectious diseases
… similar pathogen populations. These imply outbreaks, but the methods used to create them often require a threshold to qualify clusters (ie. 99% average pairwise sequence identity among cases). This project demonstrates a framework to observe the way that cluster-based outbreak detection …

Automated Syndromic Surveillance using Intelligent Mobile Agents
… that may be collected and analyzed for the early detection of infectious disease outbreaks. However, with the increased prevalence of international travel, public health monitoring must extend beyond the borders of municipalities or states which will require the ability to store vasts amount of …

Evaluation and continuous improvement of foodborne disease surveillance.
… and improvement methods to a foodborne disease outbreak detection and investigation process. This thesis is the results of investigation into the three following research questions: 1) can foodborne disease outbreak responder training and work experience be measured in an electronic survey, 2) …

Participatory epidemiology : harnessing the HealthMap platform for community-based disease outbreak monitoring
… and commerce worldwide. Early warning and detection of outbreaks plays an important role in protecting against disease, allowing public health authorities, organizations, and citizens to implement control measures rapidly. Due to its global reach, 2009 pandemic HiNi represented not only a …

Novel Applications of Geospatial Analysis in the Modeling of Infectious Diseases
… to demographic data. The West African Ebola Outbreak of 2014 demonstrated the need to include mobility in predictive disease modeling. One can no longer assume that neglected tropical diseases will remain contained and immobile, and the assumption of random mixing across large areas is …
