Modeling Intervention Measures and Severity-Dependent Public Response during Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Outbreak
TLDR
A differential equation model is proposed that includes quarantine and other intervention measures implemented by the health authority, including those to prevent nosocomial infections and decrease frequency of contacts among the general public, and considers the possible behavior change by the general populace to avoid infection.

TLDR
This work identifies the agent likely to cause the next pandemic and the suggested mechanism for its pathogenicity, and matches animals to the organism or disease transmitted by them.
Hidden Perils
TLDR
The article begins with the iconic story of ‘Typhoid Mary’, a New York cook found to be an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever microbes and discusses divergent approaches to the treatment of symptom-free carriers of hookworm and controversies around the screening of HIV carriers, especially before the development of anti-retroviral treatments.
The singular case of SARS : medical microbiology and the vanishing of multifactorality
TLDR
This thesis seeks to recover the possibility of the multifactorial object through a deep, ethnomethodological reading of the moments at which it flared up precise/y as a possibility for medical microbiologists investigating the 2003 SARS outbreak.
