Publications
Incorporating population dynamics into household models of infectious disease transmissionK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University
Epidemics 3:152-8. 2011..In a comparison of 12 countries, we show that both the crude birth rate and the mean household size affect the risk of infection in households...
Waning immunity and subclinical measles infections in EnglandK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia
Vaccine 22:4110-6. 2004..In recent years, vaccination levels in England have dropped from above 90% in the 1990s to 84% in 2001/2002. We discuss the impact of declining vaccination levels on clinical and subclinical infections...
Ecological mechanisms that promote arbovirus survival: a mathematical model of Ross River virus transmissionK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg 99:252-60. 2005..This suggests that birth rate can be a key factor when assessing the competence of reservoir hosts to maintain virus transmission...
Pandemic influenza H1N1: reconciling serosurvey data with estimates of the reproduction numberKathryn Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Epidemiology 23:86-94. 2012..Since then, seroprevalence studies have been conducted in a number of countries to assess the proportion of the population that was infected in the first wave of the pandemic...
Evaluation of measures to reduce international spread of SARSK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Epidemiol Infect 134:1092-101. 2006..While the control response is being developed in a currently uninfected region, border screening can provide up to one week's additional time in which to improve methods for early isolation of cases...
Predicting case numbers during infectious disease outbreaks when some cases are undiagnosedK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia
Stat Med 26:171-83. 2007..We estimate that the initial reproduction numbers lay between 1.5 and 3, and the reproduction numbers in the later stages of the outbreak lay between 0.36 and 0.6...
Estimating reproduction numbers for adults and children from case dataK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
J R Soc Interface 8:1248-59. 2011....
Estimating antiviral effectiveness against pandemic influenza using household dataKathryn Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 0200, Australia
J R Soc Interface 6:695-703. 2009..An accurate characterization of the infectiousness profile--informed by strain-specific data--is essential for measuring antiviral effectiveness...
How much would closing schools reduce transmission during an influenza pandemic?Kathryn Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Epidemiology 18:623-8. 2007..Although schools have been closed to slow the spread of influenza, there is limited evidence as to the impact on transmission of disease...
The role of health care workers and antiviral drugs in the control of pandemic influenzaBelinda Barnes
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia
Math Biosci 209:403-16. 2007..Further, we show that the role children play in increasing transmission is moderate, in spite of closer mixing with other children...
Controlling emerging infectious diseases like SARSNiels G Becker
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia
Math Biosci 193:205-21. 2005..We find that the strategy of tracing and quarantining contacts of diagnosed cases can be very successful in reducing transmission...
The effect of heterogeneity in measles vaccination on population immunityK Glass
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Epidemiol Infect 132:675-83. 2004..In the aggregated model, we found that heterogeneity in vaccination coverage can lead to a much increased rate of infection among unvaccinated individuals, with a simultaneous drop in the average age at infection...
Spatial dynamics of an epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome in an urban areaJinfeng Wang
Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Anwai, Beijing, China
Bull World Health Organ 84:965-8. 2006..To map risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in an urban area and assess the ability of traditional interventions to control dispersion of the disease...
Dynamic patterns of avian and human influenza in east and southeast AsiaAndrew W Park
Department of Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Institute of Research for Development, Montpellier, France
Lancet Infect Dis 7:543-8. 2007..The possibility of a human being becoming co-infected with both human and avian strains of influenza is not restricted to a short season, although the risks do appear to be greatest during the winter months...
