Dog screening as a novel complementary guinea worm disease control tool to mitigate persistence in Chad: A modeling study [PDF]
Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2023 A free-roaming dog population remains one of the major public health problems in many developing countries. In this study, we investigated the potential impact of owned roaming and stray dogs on the persistence and possible eradication of Guinea worm ...

Optimal COVID-19 epidemic strategy with vaccination control and infection prevention measures in Thailand [PDF]
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2022 COVID-19 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the Coronavirus-2 virus (SARS-CoV-2). The virus spreads from one to another through droplets from an infected person, and sometimes these droplets can contaminate surfaces that may be another ...

Existence and uniqueness of periodic orbits in a discrete model on Wolbachia infection frequency
Advances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2021 In this paper, we study a discrete model on Wolbachia infection frequency. Assume that a periodic and impulsive release strategy is implemented, where infected males are released during the first N generations with the release ratio α, and the release is

Stability analysis of fractional order SEIR model for malaria disease in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Demonstratio Mathematica, 2021 We discussed stability analysis of susceptible-exposed-infectious-removed (SEIR) model for malaria disease through fractional order and check that malaria is epidemic or endemic in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan).
