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

Optimal Control for a Tuberculosis Model with Exogenous Reinfection under the Influence of Stigma
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2022 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.

How to Obtain Long Term Projections for Smoking Behaviour: A Case Study in the Dutch Population
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 155-164, 2009., 2009 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

The Dynamics of an HIV/AIDS Model with Screened Disease Carriers
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 287-305, 2009., 2009 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 of a fractional order epidemic model with application to human respiratory syncytial virus infection [PDF]
, 2018 A human respiratory syncytial virus surveillance system was implemented in Florida in 1999, to support clinical decision-making for prophylaxis of premature newborns. Recently, a local periodic SEIRS mathematical model was proposed in [Stat. Optim.

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2004, Issue 3, Page 235-254, 2004., 2004 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.

Vaccination in a model of an epidemic
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 425-429, 2000., 2000 Vaccination has been included in a model which describes an epidemic. A traveling wave solution together with an equilibrium and stability analysis have been done to the model.

Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2023 Measles is a highly communicable viral infection that mostly affects children aged 5 years and below. Maternal antibodies in neonates help protect them from infectious diseases, including measles. However, maternal antibodies disappear a few months after
