Optimal1
- We introduce a discrete time model in order to study optimal control strategies for influenza transmission. (utep.edu)
Asymptomatic3
- Another important disease characteristic is that transmission can be sourced by either infected symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals, though studies agree that transmission rates are higher among symptomatic individuals. (avalonecon.com)
- Infected people can transmit the disease for a five-day period while they are asymptomatic. (scisoc.com)

- It also requires those arriving from a growing list of countries to "self-isolate" for 14 days to reduce the risk of infecting others if they develop disease. (otago.ac.nz)
- The risk of transmission is directly related to the amount of virus to which a person is exposed. (msdmanuals.com)
- Factors such as distance from an infected person, the number of infected people in the room, the duration of time spent with infected people, the size of the air space, aerosol-generating activity (eg, singing, shouting, or exercising), ventilation in the location, and the direction and speed of airflow can contribute to this risk.
