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.

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.

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 primer on stochastic epidemic models: Formulation, numerical simulation, and analysis
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2017 Some mathematical methods for formulation and numerical simulation of stochastic epidemic models are presented. Specifically, models are formulated for continuous-time Markov chains and stochastic differential equations. Some well-known examples are used

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 ...

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.

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.

Global Stability of an SIR Epidemic Model with Delay and General Nonlinear Incidence [PDF]
, 2010 An SIR model with distributed delay and a general incidence function is studied. Conditions are given under which the system exhibits threshold behaviour: the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R0 \u3c 1 and globally attracting
