Containing Emerging Epidemics: a Quantitative Comparison of Quarantine and Symptom Monitoring

2016-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Strategies for containing an emerging infectious disease outbreak must be non-pharmaceutical when drugs or vaccines for the pathogen do not yet exist or are unavailable. The success of these non-pharmaceutical strategies will depend not only on the effectiveness of quarantine or other isolation measures but also on the epidemiological characteristics of the infection. However, there is currently...
