Applying modern analytical techniques to historical outbreaks enhances our understanding of past pandemics. Thanks to @charlotteperlant.bsky.social and our coauthors @fxweill.bsky.social, @paolobosetti.bsky.social and Mirabelle Scipioni !
In Apr-Jun, transmissions concentrated around Paris, mostly with short-range events. In Jul-Sep, long-range transmissions drove the spread to the north, where local hubs formed. Mean transmission distance declined in Oct. We estimate cholera was introduced in 10 major ports from outside France.
Spread was well captured by a gravity model, highlighting human mobility's role. Transmission rose by 2.5-fold in Aug., compensated by a drop in duration of infectivity of municipalities, likely due to interventions. Commercial ports played a key role both as points of introduction/local hubs.
The epidemic started in April in Paris area and expanded mostly to the North of France, with a peak in September. Infected municipalities clustered around major commercial ports.
The report provides a linelist of >4000 cholera deaths that occurred across France, along with detailed descriptions of control measures and maps documenting local outbreaks.
Few years ago, an intern in the team explored historical archives and identified a fascinating report describing with great detail the large French cholera epidemic of 1892. The modelling analysis of these data has now been published in Epidemics.

Very interesting framework developed by @meganodris.bsky.social to jointly infer epi and antigenic parameters from multi-pathogen serology!
Symposium & workshop on inequalities in infectious disease dynamics at LSHTM in April 2026. We aim to will bring together leading researchers and practitioners to share ideas, discuss recent advances, and reflect on future directions. Details & application: iddconf.org/lshtm-sympos...

Just a few more days to apply to our 1-week course on Infectious Disease Modelling that will take place at Institut Pasteur, March 9-13 2026, in beautiful Paris! Application deadline: 15 December. www.pasteur.fr/en/education...
A couple of infectious disease modelling starter packs that may be of interest. 👇
H3N2 preprint: there are concerns of a severe incoming influenza season due to the drifted H3N2 K clade. We at @psioxford.bsky.social analysed epi data and ran scenario models to see what we could discern about K clade transmission dynamics: zenodo.org/records/1770....

Thrilled for the latest work from @comunelab.bsky.social !
We introduce a multilayer + multiscale model in two distinct frameworks (particle- & force-based), identifying how to balance contact and mobility cuts to mitigate epidemics. #ComplexSystems
