Modeling and Optimal Control Applied to a Vector Borne Disease

open access: yes, 2012
A model with six mutually-exclusive compartments related to Dengue disease is presented. In this model there are three vector control tools: insecticides (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control.

Mathematical model of Zika virus with vertical transmission

open access: yesInfectious Disease Modelling, 2017
Zika is a flavivirus transmitted to humans through either the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes or sexual transmission. Zika has been linked to congenital anomalies such as microcephaly.

Effect of awareness and saturated treatment on the transmission of infectious diseases

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
In this article, we study the role of awareness and its impact on the control of infectious diseases. We analyze a susceptible-infected-recovered model with a media awareness compartment. We find the effective reproduction number R0{R}_{0}.

Assessing the impact of information-induced self-protection on Zika transmission: A mathematical modeling approach

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
As per the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) suggestions, personal protection via adopting precautionary measures is one of the most effective control aspects to avoid Zika infection in the absence of suitable medical treatment.

Mathematical modeling of contact tracing and stability analysis to inform its impact on disease outbreaks; an application to COVID-19

open access: yesInfectious Disease Modelling
We develop a mathematical model to investigate the effect of contact tracing on containing epidemic outbreaks and slowing down the spread of transmissible diseases.

Perfect taxon sampling and phylogenetically decisive taxon coverage

open access: yes, 2012
In a recent study, Steel and Sanderson defined and characterized phylogenetically decisive sets of taxon sets. A set is called phylogenetically decisive if regardless of the trees chosen for each of its taxon sets, as long as these trees are compatible ...

Plankton interaction model: Effect of prey refuge and harvesting

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
Harmful algal blooms are one of the major threats to aquatic ecosystem. Some phytoplankton species produce toxins during algal bloom and affect other aquatic species as well as human beings.
