Title: Hand-hygiene mitigation strategies against global disease spreading through the air transportation network Document date: 2019_1_26
ID: l353fvsp_47
Snippet: The results, shown in Figure 4 , indicate that the design of a less costly (compared to homogeneous) strategic plan for hand washing intervention only at ten pre-identified "key" airports worldwide (Scenario (i)) could lead to a significant reduction of the disease impact calculated by the TSD from ∼8% to ∼37% (or ∼7% to ∼29% calculated by the world prevalence). If the strategic plan is deliberately implemented only at the ten most import.....
Document: The results, shown in Figure 4 , indicate that the design of a less costly (compared to homogeneous) strategic plan for hand washing intervention only at ten pre-identified "key" airports worldwide (Scenario (i)) could lead to a significant reduction of the disease impact calculated by the TSD from ∼8% to ∼37% (or ∼7% to ∼29% calculated by the world prevalence). If the strategic plan is deliberately implemented only at the ten most important airports for each source of disease (Scenario (ii)), we observe a further reduction of the disease impact. However, this further reduction is statistically different from that of Scenario (i) only in terms of the Prevalence of the disease, and not in terms of geographical spreading as calculated through TSD. Intervention Scenario (iii), that considers enhancing hand washing engagement only at the source of the disease also has a significant effect on the reduction of disease impact; yet, this effect is smaller than that of intervention Scenarios (i) and (ii).
