Cholera in the Lake Kivu region (DRC): Integrating remote sensing and spatially explicit epidemiological modeling

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger, Allyn Christine Knox

Mathematical models of cholera dynamics can not only help in identifying environmental drivers and processes that influence disease transmission, but may also represent valuable tools for the prediction of the epidemiological patterns in time and space as ...

Optimizing a remotely sensed proxy for plankton biomass in Lake Kivu

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Allyn Christine Knox

Many regions of the world, including inland lakes, present with suboptimal conditions for the remotely sensed retrieval of optical signals, thus challenging the limits of available satellite data-processing tools, such as atmospheric correction models (ACM ...

Inferences from catchment-scale tracer circulation experiments

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

In this paper the mechanisms determining the mobilization and transport of solutes driven by rainfall through runoff pathways at catchment scales are investigated through the analysis of tracer experiments. The hydro-chemical response of a small catchment ...

SESTET: A spatially explicit stream temperature model based on equilibrium temperature

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro

Stream-water temperature is a key variable controlling chemical, biological, and ecological processes in freshwater environments. Most models focus on a single river cross-section; however, temperature gradients along stretches and tributaries of a river n ...

Potential impacts of precipitation change on large-scale patterns of tree diversity

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

Forests are globally important ecosystems host to outstanding biological diversity. Widespread efforts have addressed the impacts of climate change on biodiversity in these ecosystems. We show that a metacommunity model founded on basic ecological processe ...

The Metabolic Regimes at the Scale of an Entire Stream Network Unveiled Through Sensor Data and Machine Learning

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pier Luigi Segatto

Streams and rivers form dense networks that drain the terrestrial landscape and are relevant for biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and transport and transformation of carbon. Yet, resolving in both space and time gross primary production (GPP), ...

Glucose- but Not Rice-Based Oral Rehydration Therapy Enhances the Production of Virulence Determinants in the Human Pathogen Vibrio cholerae

Juliane Kühn, Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Melanie Blokesch, Flavio Finger

Despite major attempts to prevent cholera transmission, millions of people worldwide still must address this devastating disease. Cholera research has so far mainly focused on the causative agent, the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, or on disease treatment, but ...

Hydrology and density feedbacks control the ecology of intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis across habitats in seasonal climates

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Theophile Mande

We report about field and theoretical studies on the ecology of the aquatic snails (Bulinus spp. and Biomphalaria pfeifferi) that serve as obligate intermediate hosts in the complex life cycle of the parasites causing human schistosomiasis. Snail abundance ...

Catchment travel time distributions and water flow in soils

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Ludovico Nicotina

Many details about the flow of water in soils in a hillslope are unknowable given current technologies. One way of learning about the bulk effects of water velocity distributions on hillslopes is through the use of tracers. However, this paper will demonst ...

The potential impact of case-area targeted interventions in response to cholera outbreaks: A modeling study

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Flavio Finger

Background Cholera prevention and control interventions targeted to neighbors of cholera cases (case-area targeted interventions [CATIs]), including improved water, sanitation, and hygiene, oral cholera vaccine (OCV), and prophylactic antibiotics, may be a ...

Spread and dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy: Effects of emergency containment measures

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro

The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Italy prompted drastic measures for transmission containment. We examine the effects of these interventions, based on modeling of the unfolding epidemic. We test modeling options of the spatially explici ...

Modelling cholera epidemics: the role of waterways, human mobility and sanitation

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

We investigate the role of human mobility as a driver for long-range spreading of cholera infections, which primarily propagate through hydrologically controlled ecological corridors. Our aim is to build a spatially explicit model of a disease epidemic, wh ...

Fluvial network organization imprints on microbial co-occurrence networks

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

Recent studies highlight linkages among the architecture of ecological networks, their persistence facing environmental disturbance, and the related patterns of biodiversity. A hitherto unresolved question is whether the structure of the landscape inhabite ...

On the probability of extinction of the Haiti cholera epidemic

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger

More than three years after its appearance in Haiti, cholera has already caused more than 8,500 deaths and 695,000 infections and it is feared to become endemic. However, no clear evidence of a stable environmental reservoir of pathogenic Vibrio cholerae, ...

Metapopulation persistence and species spread in river networks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari

River networks define ecological corridors characterised by unidirectional streamflow, which may impose downstream drift to aquatic organisms or affect their movement. Animals and plants manage to persist in riverine ecosystems, though, which in fact harbo ...

Seasonality in cholera dynamics: A rainfall-driven model explains the wide range of patterns in endemic areas

Enrico Bertuzzo, Theo Baracchini

Seasonal patterns in cholera dynamics exhibit pronounced variability across geographical regions, showing single or multiple peaks at different times of the year. Although multiple hypotheses related to local climate variables have been proposed, an unders ...

Spatially explicit effective reproduction numbers from incidence and mobility data

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto, Cristiano Trevisin

Current methods for near real-time estimation of effective reproduction numbers from surveillance data overlook mobility fluxes of infectors and susceptible individuals within a spatially connected network (the metapopulation). Exchanges of infections amon ...

Geomorphic controls on elevational gradients of species richness

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Florian Altermatt, Francesco Carrara

Elevational gradients of biodiversity have been widely investigated, and yet a clear interpretation of the biotic and abiotic factors that determine how species richness varies with elevation is still elusive. In mountainous landscapes, habitats at differe ...

A non standard supersymmetric spectrum

Enrico Bertuzzo, Duccio Pappadopulo, Paolo Lodone

Taking a bottom-up point of view and focussing on the lack of signals so far in the Higgs and in the flavour sectors, we argue in favour of giving consideration to supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model where the lightest Higgs boson has a mass be ...

Real-time projections of cholera outbreaks through data assimilation and rainfall forecasting

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Flavio Finger, Damiano Pasetto

Although treatment for cholera is well-known and cheap, outbreaks in epidemic regions still exact high death tolls mostly due to the unpreparedness of health care infrastructures to face unforeseen emergencies. In this context, mathematical models for the ...
