Models of the impact of dengue vaccines: A review of current research and potential approaches
Open accessAbstract
Vaccination reduces transmission of pathogens directly, by preventing individual infections, and indirectly, by reducing the probability of contact between infected individuals and susceptible ones. The potential combined impact of future dengue vaccines can be estimated using mathematical models of transmission. However, there is considerable uncertainty in the structure of models that accurately represent dengue transmission dynamics. Here, we review models that could be used to assess the impact of future dengue immunization programmes. We also review approaches that have been used to validate and parameterize models. A key parameter of all approaches is the basic reproduction number, R(0), which can be used to determine the critical vaccination fraction to eliminate transmission. We review several methods that have been used to estimate this quantity. Finally, we discuss the characteristics of dengue vaccines that must be estimated to accurately assess their potential impact on dengue virus transmission.

Where non-entomological estimates of R0 have been made, the estimates obtained are much lower than entomological estimates.
“Where non-entomological estimates have been made, which are generally measured using methods that can be compared to estimates made for other pathogens, the estimates obtained are much lower.34,89”
From Recasting the theory of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission dynamics and control (2014) · cites this paper as [89]
Section 3 describes both mosquito-based and epidemic-based methods for estimating dengue R0, and Section 4 says estimates from early epidemics may underestimate overall transmission. But the paper does not establish that non-entomological estimates are generally much lower than entomological estimates, or say that those methods are comparable to methods used for other pathogens.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
