On Spatially Explicit Models of Cholera Epidemics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

We generalize a recently proposed model for cholera epidemics that accounts for local communities of susceptibles and infectives in a spatially explicit arrangement of nodes linked by networks having different topologies. The vehicle of infection (Vibrio c ...

Floquet theory for seasonal environmental forcing of spatially explicit waterborne epidemics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari

The transmission of waterborne pathogens is a complex process that is heavily linked to the spatial characteristics of the underlying environmental matrix as well as to the temporal variability of the relevant hydroclimatological drivers. In this work, we ...

The geography of COVID-19 spread in Italy and implications for the relaxation of confinement measures

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto

The pressing need to restart socioeconomic activities locked-down to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Italy must be coupled with effective methodologies to selectively relax containment measures. Here we employ a spatially explicit model, properly atten ...

Heterogeneity in schistosomiasis transmission dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Simple models of disease propagation often disregard the effects of transmission heterogeneity on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics associated with host-parasite interactions. However, for some diseases like schistosomiasis, a widespread parasiti ...

SEHR-ECHO v1.0: a Spatially Explicit Hydrologic Response model for ecohydrologic applications

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Bettina Schaefli, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper presents the Spatially Explicit Hydrologic Response (SEHR) model developed at the Laboratory of Ecohydrology of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne for the simulation of hydrological processes at the catchment scale. The key concept of ...

Rainfall mediations in the spreading of epidemic cholera

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Following the empirical evidence of a clear correlation between rainfall events and cholera resurgence that was observed in particular during the recent outbreak in Haiti, a spatially explicit model of epidemic cholera is re-examined. Specifically, we test ...

Detection of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in environmental waters of rural Bangladesh: a flow-cytometry-based field trial

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Presence of Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 in the waters of the rural area of Matlab, Bangladesh, was investigated with quantitative measurements performed with a portable flow cytometer. The relevance of this work relates to the testing of a field ...

Hydrologic Variability Affects Invertebrate Grazing on Phototrophic Biofilms in Stream Microcosms

Andrea Rinaldo, Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Serena Ceola

The temporal variability of streamflow is known to be a key feature structuring and controlling fluvial ecological communities and ecosystem processes. Although alterations of streamflow regime due to habitat fragmentation or other anthropogenic factors ar ...

Modelling human movement in cholera spreading along fluvial systems

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Righetto

We propose an important extension of a previously studied, spatially explicit and hydrology-driven, model of cholera spreading. Our reformulation concerns the role of different modelizations of human movement on the overall dynamics of the epidemics, which ...

Geomorphic signatures on brutsaert base flow recession analysis

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Enrico Bertuzzo, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner, Ludovico Nicotina, Serena Ceola

This paper addresses the signatures of catchment geomorphology on base flow recession curves. Its relevance relates to the implied predictability of base flow features, which are central to catchment-scale transport processes and to ecohydrological functio ...

Stochastic dynamics of cholera epidemics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Amos Maritan

We describe the predictions of an analytically tractable stochastic model for cholera epidemics following a single initial outbreak. The exact model relies on a set of assumptions that may restrict the generality of the approach and yet provides a realm of ...

Mobile phone data highlights the role of mass gatherings in the spreading of cholera outbreaks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger

The spatiotemporal evolution of human mobility and the related fluctuations of population density are known to be key drivers of the dynamics of infectious disease outbreaks. These factors are particularly relevant in the case of mass gatherings, which may ...

Transport in the hydrologic response: Travel time distributions, soil moisture dynamics, and the old water paradox

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

We propose a mathematical framework for the general definition and computation of travel time distributions defined by the closure of a catchment control volume, where the input flux is an arbitrary rainfall pattern and the output fluxes are green and blue ...

Storage selection functions: A coherent framework for quantifying how catchments store and release water and solutes

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Paolo Benettin

We discuss a recent theoretical approach combining catchment-scale flow and transport processes into a unified framework. The approach is designed to characterize the hydrochemistry of hydrologic systems and to meet the challenges posed by empirical eviden ...

Unexpected large evasion fluxes of carbon dioxide from turbulent streams draining the world’s mountains

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Amber Joy Ulseth, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby, Pier Luigi Segatto

Inland waters, including streams and rivers, are active components of the global carbon cycle.Despite the large areal extent of the world’s mountains, the role of mountain streams forglobal carbonfluxes remains elusive. Using recent insights from gas excha ...
