Statistical and Mathematical Modeling in Biological Applications — SaMMBA
The seminar series Statistical and Mathematical Modeling in Biological Applications (SaMMBA) features monthly lectures and discussions with leading modelers in biological sciences. Presentations are in English or French and target an interdisciplinary audience. Seminars are held on the campus of Institut Pasteur. Access is free. However, to enter the campus, one needs a badge that is obtained at the main gate in exchange of a piece of ID (passport, citizen card or driver licence). If you are planning to come from outside the campus, please contact Lulla Opatowski to have a badge ready when you arrive.
For additional information about the series, contact the organizers: Pierre-Yves Böelle, Romulus Breban, Vittoria Colizza, Judith Legrand, Lulla Opatowski, Chiara Poletto, Virginie Supervie, Laura Temime and Elisabeta Vergu. To arrange to meet with an invited speaker, contact the host of that speaker.
The SaMMBA seminars received financial support from the ANRS, the region Ile de France through the DIM Systèmes complexes, from Inserm and the department MIA of INRA. It is now funded by the region Ile de France through the DIM One health, and the Inception program, Institut Pasteur.

Causes and consequences of variation in human papillomavirus vaccination uptake in Switzerland Abstract: Understanding the factors that influence human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination uptake, and the consequences of regional heterogeneity in vaccination coverage on transmission and prevalence of HPV-16, is critically important to the design of effective vaccination programs. In Switzerland, HPV vaccination uptake (≥1 dose) by age 16 years among women ranges from 31 to 80% across 26 cantons. First, we identified the factors that are associated with the spatial variation in HPV vaccination uptake by using Bayesian hierarchical models that can account for municipal-level spatial autocorrelation. We found that living in cantons that have school-based vaccination was associated with increased uptake, while living in municipalities with lower acceptance of vaccination laws was associated with lower HPV vaccination uptake. Second, we developed a deterministic, population-based model that describes HPV-16 transmission among young adults within and between the 26 cantons of Switzerland. We can show how cantons with low vaccination uptake benefit from a reduction in prevalence at the expense of cantons with high vaccination uptake. Our results highlight that efforts should be made to mitigate vaccination scepticism and to encourage school-based vaccination in order to increase uptake. Furthermore, a harmonization of cantonal vaccination programs would reduce inter-cantonal differences in HPV-16 prevalence. Contact: Romulus Breban |
