SUMMARY:Commuters and the spread of influenza in the UK - Adam Kucharski\,
  University of Warwick
DTSTART:20090129T163000Z
DTEND:20090129T173000Z
UID:TALK16335@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Olivier Restif
DESCRIPTION:We are interested in understanding how spatial structure could
  shape the dynamics of an influenza epidemic in the UK. Using designated h
 uman boundaries such as counties or districts\, it is possible to construc
 t a metapopulation framework containing subpopulations coupled to reflect 
 information on commuter movements from the 2001 UK Census.\n\nIt will be d
 iscussed how this type of model can be implemented to examine the impact o
 f factors such as a disease's starting point\, and how we can find the loc
 ation of subpopulations that act as foci or reservoirs for infection.
