A UF meta-analysis uncovers transmission patterns of SARS-CoV-2 within households.

A warming world will shift arboviruses, such as Zika virus, into new areas where human populations are susceptible to infection.

A lack of coordination in measures to control COVID-19 may accelerate cyclical outbreaks, according to a team of UF researchers.

Infectious disease modeler and biostatistician Ira Longini is applying decades of experience to help design and analyze clinical trials to identify a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine.

Which global distribution strategy for a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine will save the most lives?

Two UF researchers collaborated with international colleagues to measure how an individual’s immunity to flu is shaped over a lifetime of exposures to multiple influenza viruses. The team devised new metrics to analyze a person’s antibody profile and how it changes over time.

A UF/EPI professor helped develop a model that estimates slightly more than half of COVID-19 transmission is due to people with no symptoms. A third or more of these cases would need to be isolated, in addition to most symptomatic cases, to quell the pandemic.

A new EPI analysis examines COVID-19 statewide cases by age, plus health care trends at the state and county level.

New EPI mathematical modeling results for projecting COVID-19 in Florida.

New EPI model measures the effect of testing, contact tracing and household quarantining on second-wave scenarios of the COVID-19 epidemic once social distancing measures are relaxed.
