Modelling the spatial-temporal progression of the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic in Chile by Raimund Bürger, Gerardo Chowell, Pep Mulet, Luis M. Villada

“…A spatial-temporal transmission model of 2009 A/H1N1 pandemic influenza across Chile,a country that spans a large latitudinal range, is developed to characterize the spatial variation in peak timingof that pandemic as a function of local transmission rates, spatial connectivity assumptions for Chilean regions, andthe putative location of introduction of the novel virus into the country. Specifically, ametapopulation SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infected-removed) compartmental model that tracks the transmissiondynamics of influenza in 15 Chilean regions is calibrated. …”
