Abstract
Public health decision-making may have great uncertainty especially in dealing with emerging infectious diseases, so it is necessary to establish a collaborative mechanism among modelers, epidemiologists, and public health decision-makers to reduce the uncertainty as much as possible. We searched the relevant studies on transmission dynamics modeling of infectious diseases, SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 as of March 1, 2021 based on PubMed. We compared the key health decision-making time points of SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 prevention and control, and the publication time points of modeling research, to reveal the collaboration between infectious disease modeling and public health decision-making in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Searching with infectious disease and mathematical model as keywords, there were 166, 81 and 1 289 studies on the modeling of infectious disease transmission dynamics of SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 were retrieved respectively. Based on the modeling application framework of public health practice proposed in the current study, the collaboration among modelers, epidemiologists and public health decision-makers should be strengthened in the future.
