An in-host model of HIV incorporating latent infection and viral mutation [PDF]
We construct a seven-component model of the in-host dynamics of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 (i.e, HIV) that accounts for latent infection and the propensity of viral mutation. A dynamical analysis is conducted and a theorem is presented which

Bifurcation-based parameter tuning in a model of the GnRH pulse and surge generator [PDF]
We investigate a model of the GnRH pulse and surge generator, with the definite aim of constraining the model GnRH output with respect to a physiologically relevant list of specifications. The alternating pulse and surge pattern of secretion results from

In this article, we consider an epidemiological model in which we take into account the effects of direct and indirect transmissions. The first mode occurs through direct contact between infectious and susceptible individuals, and the second one will ...

A deterministic compartmental sex‐structured HIV/AIDS model for assessing the effects of homosexuals and bisexuals in heterosexual settings in which homosexuality and bisexuality issues have remained taboo is presented. We extend the model to focus on the effects of condom use as a single strategy approach in HIV prevention in the absence of any other ...

Dynamics of an eco-epidemic model with Allee effect in prey and disease in predator
In this work, the dynamics of a food chain model with disease in the predator and the Allee effect in the prey have been investigated. The model also incorporates a Holling type-III functional response, accounting for both disease transmission and ...

Optimal Control of Vertically Transmitted Disease: An Integrated Approach
We study the dynamics of a disease under administration of a vaccine and antiviral drug, where the disease transmits directly from the parents to the offspring (vertical transmission) and also through contact with infective individuals (horizontal transmission).

Homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions to a hepatitis C evolution model
Homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions to a standard hepatitis C virus (HCV) evolution model described by T. C. Reluga, H. Dahari and A. S. Perelson, (SIAM J. Appl. Math., 69 (2009), pp. 999–1023) are considered in this paper.

Geometric medians in reconciliation spaces [PDF]
In evolutionary biology, it is common to study how various entities evolve together, for example, how parasites coevolve with their host, or genes with their species.

Mathematical Modelling of Immune Response in Tissues
We have developed a spatial–temporal mathematical model (PDE) to capture fundamental aspects of the immune response to antigen. We have considered terms that broadly describe intercellular communication, cell movement, and effector function (activation or inhibition).

A Mathematical Model Quantifies Proliferation and Motility Effects of TGF‐β on Cancer Cells
Transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β is known to have properties of both a tumour suppressor and a tumour promoter. While it inhibits cell proliferation, it also increases cell motility and decreases cell–cell adhesion. Coupling mathematical modelling and experiments, we investigate the growth and motility of oncogene‐expressing human mammary epithelial ...
