A Note on the Risk of Infections Invading Unaffected Regions

A Note on the Risk of Infections Invading Unaffected Regions

We present two probabilistic models to estimate the risk of introducing infectious diseases into previously unaffected countries/regions by infective travellers. We analyse two distinct situations, one dealing with a directly transmitted infection (measles in Italy in 2017) and one dealing with a ve...
