>>> In a new modeling study, Bogoch and colleagues report on the potential for international spread of Ebola virus via commercial air travel. Their assessment of risk for different countries extends previous work which analysed flight networks and connectivity, but did not account for passenger flows and final destinations. They also used WHO Ebola virus surveillance data to model the expected number of exported infections and to determine how useful air travel restrictions and airport departure and arrival screening might be in controlling the spread of the virus.
