Understanding biofilm--phage interactions in cystic fibrosis patients using mathematical frameworks
Computational and Mathematical BiophysicsWhen planktonic bacteria adhere together to a surface, they begin to form biofilms, communities of bacteria. Biofilm formation in a host can be extremely problematic if left untreated, especially since antibiotics can be ineffective in treating the ...

OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A TWO TEAMS PREY-PREDATOR INTERACTION MODEL
, 2015 In this paper, a model of two teams of predators interacting with two teams of preys is proposed. The predator teams help each other and so do the prey teams.

Global dynamics in a class of discrete-time epidemic models with disease courses
, 2013 In this paper, a class of discrete SIRS epidemic models with disease courses is studied. The basic reproduction number R0 is computed. The main results on the permanence and extinction of the disease are established. That is, the disease-free equilibrium

On Linear Growth in COVID-19 Cases
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2020 We present an elementary model of COVID-19 propagation that makes explicit the connection between testing strategies and rates of transmission and the linear growth in new cases observed in many parts of the world.

Modeling transmission dynamics of rabies in Nepal
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2021 Even though vaccines against rabies are available, rabies still remains a burden killing a significant number of humans as well as domestic and wild animals in many parts of the world, including Nepal.

Dynamical behaviors of a discrete SIS epidemic model with standard incidence and stage structure
, 2013 A discrete SIS epidemic model with stage structure and standard incident rate which is governed by Beverton-Holt type is studied. The sufficient conditions on the permanence and extinction of disease are established.

Effect of awareness and saturated treatment on the transmission of infectious diseases
Computational and Mathematical BiophysicsIn 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}.
