A diffusion model for mosquito control trials with spillover

Coronavirus was not the first pathogen to pass from an animal to humans. A number of viruses have succeeded in the past decades in a so-called spillover. Jan-Claudius Hanika.

The documentary "Spillover" shows soberly and emphatically that the human being with land robbery, climate change and burns creates the best conditions for viruses, so that they pass from animal to human.

A diffusion model for mosquito control trials with spillover

Background Mosquito movement is ubiquitous and complicates the design of cluster randomized trials (CRTs) of vector control interventions because it can cause spillover between trial arms. There has been no analytical approach to quantify the impact of this spillover on...

What do you know five years after Corona about deadly viruses that have skipped from animal to man? Why, despite the long coexistence of pathogens with humans, does "spillover" occur? What role does human beings play...

Whether Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, COVID-19 or currently the bird flu - the list of deadly viruses that have already skipped from the animal to the human being is long. This so-called spillover, that is, the process in which a pathogen passes from one species to the human being and spreads there, becomes more and more common - and for us an increasingly acute threat. But why does it come to a leap with humans in spite of the long coexistence of path…
