Study characteristics
Study design Modelling study
Model of infectious disease outbreak dynamics of several pathogens
Various R0 and incubation period depending on the pathogen
Objectives To identify the general properties of emerging infectious agents that determine the likely success of isolating symptomatic individuals and tracing and quarantining their contacts
Study details Data based on other mathematical models, the analysis of clinical patient records and case studies of 4 known pathogens: SARS, HIV, pandemic influenza, smallpox
n = NR
Interventions
  • Isolation of symptomatic patients (100%, 90%, 75% effective)

  • Isolation (100%, 90%, 75% effective) with 100% effective contact tracing
