Optimal control of a dengue epidemic model with vaccination [PDF]
, 2011 We present a SIR+ASI epidemic model to describe the interaction between human and dengue fever mosquito populations. A control strategy in the form of vaccination, to decrease the number of infected individuals, is used.

An optimal control approach to malaria prevention via insecticide-treated nets [PDF]
, 2013 Malaria is a life threatening disease, entirely preventable and treatable, provided the currently recommended interventions are properly implemented. These interventions include vector control through the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).

A vaccination model for COVID-19 in Gauteng, South Africa
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to explore the impact of government mandates on movement restrictions and non-pharmaceutical interventions on a novel infection, and we investigate these strategies in early-stage outbreak dynamics.

Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2020 We present a methodology to connect an ordinary differential equation (ODE) model of interacting entities at the individual level, to an open Markov chain (OMC) model of a population of such individuals, via a stochastic differential equation (SDE ...

A mathematical model to study the spread of COVID-19 and its control in India
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2023 In this article, a nonlinear mathematical model is proposed and analyzed to study the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and its control. Due to sudden emergence of a peculiar kind of infection, no vaccines were available, and therefore, the ...

Estimating the reproduction number and designing the integrated strategies against dengue
Results in Physics, 2021 Dengue poses social and economic burden in the world. Around 390 million cases have been identified with 96 millions showing clinical symptoms. Vector control methods have been widely used as strategies against dengue.

Lyapunov Functions for Tuberculosis Models with Fast and Slow Progression [PDF]
, 2006 The spread of tuberculosis is studied through two models which include fast and slow progression to the infected class. For each model, Lyapunov functions are used to show that when the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one, the disease ...

Optimal Control for a COVID-19 Model Accounting for Symptomatic and Asymptomatic
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2020 Building on an SEIR-type model of COVID-19 where the infecteds are further divided into symptomatic and asymptomatic, a system incorporating the various possible interventions is formulated.

Cluster formation for multi-strain infections with cross-immunity [PDF]
, 2005 Many infectious diseases exist in several pathogenic variants, or strains, which interact via cross-immunity. It is observed that strains tend to self-organise into groups, or clusters.

A surrogate Bayesian framework for a SARS-CoV-2 data driven stochastic model
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2022 Dynamic compartmentalized data (DCD) and compartmentalized differential equations (CDEs) are key instruments for modeling transmission of pathogens such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
