Global asymptotic properties for a Leslie-Gower food chain model [PDF]
We study global asymptotic properties of a continuous time Leslie-Gower food chain model. We construct a Lyapunov function which enables us to establish global asymptotic stability of the unique coexisting equilibrium state.

A STOCHASTIC MODEL FOR HIV EPIDEMIC WITH TREATMENT AND INFLOW OF INFECTIVES
We present a stochastic model of the population dynamics of HIV/AIDS with treatment and inflow of infectives. Starting with a deterministic compartmental model, each of the four ordinary differential equations are stochastically perturbed.

Background Treatment of canine demodicosis can be challenging; new treatments are always being sought. Objective The efficacy of sarolaner was evaluated in comparison with a moxidectin/imidacloprid topical product against generalized demodicosis in dogs in a randomized, single‐masked, multi‐centre field study.

Parameter Estimation from ICC curves [PDF]
Incidence vs Cumulative Cases (ICC) curves are introduced and shown to provide a simple framework for parameter identification in the case of the most elementary epidemiological model, consisting of susceptible, infected, and removed compartments. This novel methodology is used to estimate the basic reproduction ratio of recent outbreaks, including the

How to Obtain Long Term Projections for Smoking Behaviour: A Case Study in the Dutch Population
A state‐transition model is presented to project the prevalence rates of never, current and former smokers within the Dutch population. Changes are determined by the transition rates among these three classes: start rates, quit rates and relapse rates. Both the initial prevalence rates and transition rates are calculated from cross‐sectional data using

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

The Dynamics of an HIV/AIDS Model with Screened Disease Carriers
The presence of carriers usually complicates the dynamics and prevention of a disease. They are not recognized as disease cases themselves unless they are screened and they usually spread the infection without them being aware. We argue that this has been one of the major causes of the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Optimal Control for a Tuberculosis Model with Exogenous Reinfection under the Influence of Stigma
Often described as the world’s most deadly infectious disease, Tuberculosis remains a serious health threat in many parts of the world, especially in the developing countries.

Cross-entropy method in application to SIRC model [PDF]
The study considers the usage of a probabilistic optimization method called Cross-Entropy (CE). This is the version of the Monte Carlo method created by Reuven Rubinstein (1997). It was developed in the context of determining rare events. Here we will present the way in which the CE method can be used for problems of optimization of epidemiological ...

An SI epidemic model for a vertically as well as horizontally transmitted disease is investigated when the fertility, natural mortality, and disease‐induced mortality rates depend on age and the force of infection corresponds to a special form of intercohort transmission called proportionate mixing.
