Geneva Disease Dynamics group
@gddynamics.bsky.social
We tackle key questions in infectious disease epidemiology with multidisciplinary approaches that iterate between field data collection, data analysis and modeling, and translation to decision makers, all while applying a disease dynamics lens.
Our work on false-positive mpox results in high-transmission settings is out @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social. Of 2,724 suspected cases in DR Congo, ~35% of qPCR positives (Ct<40) were estimated to be environmentally derived. A Ct cutoff of <34 reduced this to ~5%, with only marginal sensitivity losses
