应用流行病学模型用于预测疾病的未来趋势，以基本了解疾病和健康动态，并改进健康指标的计量。绘制关于非洲传染病传播动态和公共卫生干预措施的流行病学模型研究的研究成果图，将有助于确定开展大量研究活动的领域、存在差距的领域和研究成果趋势。对涉及非洲机构第一或最后作者的传染病研究的应用流行病学模型进行了范围审查。符合条件的研究是关于传染病传播动态和公共卫生干预措施的研究。该综述与系统性综述和荟萃分析（PRISMA）扩展范围综述的首选报告项目一致。截至2020年4月底，对四个电子数据库进行了同行评审出版物检索。在确定的5927篇出版物中，181篇符合纳入标准。该审查确定了143篇出版物的第一作者拥有非洲机构联系（AIA），而81篇出版物的第一和最后作者都拥有AIA。发现出版物作者主要隶属于南非和肯尼亚的机构。此外，人类免疫缺陷病毒、疟疾、结核病和埃博拉病毒病被认为是研究最多的传染病。特别是在过去十年中，整个非洲的研究生产力逐步提高，非洲内外都开展了一些合作努力。传染病应用流行病学模型研究的生产率可能有所提高，但非洲研究人员作为主要作者的代表性仍然不足。研究结果表明，需要通过支持非洲现有机构和促进研究资金来发展研究能力，以解决当地的卫生优先事项。
Applied epidemiological models are used in predicting future trends of diseases, for the basic understanding of disease and health dynamics, and to improve the measurement of health indicators. Mapping the research outputs of epidemiological modelling studies concerned with transmission dynamics of infectious diseases and public health interventions in Africa will help to identify the areas with substantial levels of research activities, areas with gaps, and research output trends. A scoping review of applied epidemiological models of infectious disease studies that involved first or last authors affiliated to African institutions was conducted. Eligible studies were those concerned with the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases and public health interventions. The review was consistent with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. Four electronic databases were searched for peer-reviewed publications up to the end of April 2020. Of the 5927 publications identified, 181 met the inclusion criteria. The review identified 143 publications with first authors having an African institutional affiliation (AIA), while 81 had both first and last authors with an AIA. The publication authors were found to be predominantly affiliated with institutions based in South Africa and Kenya. Furthermore, human immunodeficiency virus, malaria, tuberculosis, and Ebola virus disease were found to be the most researched infectious diseases. There has been a gradual increase in research productivity across Africa especially in the last ten years, with several collaborative efforts spread both within and beyond Africa. Research productivity in applied epidemiological modelling studies of infectious diseases may have increased, but there remains an under-representation of African researchers as leading authors. The study findings indicate a need for the development of research capacity through supporting existing institutions in Africa and promoting research funding that will address local health priorities.
