A Systematic Review of Spatial Epidemiological Modeling Approaches Applied During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A wide range of epidemiological modeling approaches have been applied to the SARS-CoV-2 pan-demic, which presents an opportunity to assess common approaches applied to specific research questions. Spatial models interrogate how heterogeneities and host movement dynamics influence local and regional patterns of dis-ease, issues that were of great interest for understanding and controlling SARS-CoV-2.

Objective

Here we present a systematic review of spatial epidemiological modeling approaches of SARS-CoV-2. We describe common themes and highlight unique strategies, providing a foundation for researchers to devise spatial models most appropriate for future pathogens and epidemics. Our review also categorizes the research questions that were addressed with spatial mod
