Pandemic waves as the outcome of coupled behaviour and disease dynamics: a mathematical modelling study

2026-02-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The COVID-19 pandemic was strongly shaped by the interaction between population behaviour and transmission dynamics. Standard mathematical models do not account for this interaction, however. <h4>Objective</h4> we tested whether adding a mechanistic representation of population behavioural dynamics improves the ability of a mathematical model to explain and predict COVID-19...
