Article Synopsis
- Applied epidemiological models are key for understanding and managing disease outbreaks like SARS-CoV-2, but their effectiveness relies on local data, quick communication, and policymakers' willingness to utilize them.
- A systematic review of 74 papers on SARS-CoV-2 modeling in Africa highlighted that most studies came from only a few countries, and very few used local data for calibration.
- The findings underscore the importance of enhancing modeling capacity in Africa, as many studies focused on assessing control interventions and identified the transmission rate as a major source of uncertainty in model predictions.
