摘要: We discuss models for rapidly disseminating infectious diseases during mass gatherings (MGs), using influenza as a case study. Recent innovations in modeling and forecasting transmission dynamics at local, regional, global scales have made particularly attractive model scenario MG. the behavioral, medical, population factors MG disease transmission, review existing formulations, highlight key data gaps related to transmission. argue that proposed improvements will help integrate infectious-disease health contingency plans near future, echoing efforts helped shape pandemic preparedness recent years.
