Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Carlos Dommar"
- Carlos Dommar's recent research focuses on the dynamics of vector-borne diseases in island populations, particularly Chikungunya and dengue, by analyzing how cultural and geographical networks influence disease spread and persistence.
- His study on the 2013 Chikungunya outbreak in the Caribbean revealed that the epidemic's spread was significantly structured by flight connections and geopolitical relationships among islands rather than occurring randomly, indicating a unique network topology.
- In examining dengue transmission in French Polynesia from 1978 to 2014, Dommar highlighted the long-term maintenance of monotypic dengue in isolated populations, shedding light on the complexities of dengue epidemiology in environments with extensive human mobility and occasional mono-serotype epidemics.
