Dengue disease, basic reproduction number and control [PDF]

International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2012
Dengue is one of the major international public health concerns. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease is challenging. Thus, the main approach to fight the disease is vector control. A model for the transmission of Dengue disease is presented.

Basic reproduction number for the Brazilian Spotted Fever

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2018
Brazilian Spotted Fever (BSF) is an emerging and lethal disease in South America which basic reproduction number (R0) is unknown. Calculating R0 for this disease is crucial to design control interventions and prevent human deaths. BSF endemic areas are related to the presence of capybaras Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, amplifier hosts of Rickettsia ...

Towards an understanding of the perpetuation of the agent of tularemia

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2011
The epidemiology of tularemia has influenced, perhaps incorrectly skewed, our views on the ecology of the agent of tularemia. In particular, the central role of lagomorphs needs to be reexamined.

Dynamical analysis of mathematical model for Bovine Tuberculosis among human and cattle population

Communication in Biomathematical Sciences, 2019
Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB) is a disease that can attack humans through cattle.The process of transmission can occur through the air and cattle products that are not treated properly.

On Basic Reproduction Number R0 : Derivation and Application

Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences Technology, 2023
The basic reproductive number (R0 ) is a threshold parameter for a population-level model of infectious disease control. The basic reproduction number is derived by epidemiologists using different techniques. It is used to estimate the basic reproductive rates of infected and susceptible hosts and to guide intervention strategies.

Application of the type and target reproduction numbers to the evaluation of the influence of each prefecture in Japan on the disease spread

Infectious Disease Modelling
In this study, by applying population mobility data in July, August and September of 2019–2023 in Japan to a multigroup epidemic model, we calculate the type and target reproduction numbers of each prefecture in Japan. Regarding these values as a kind of

Basic reproduction number and sensitivity analysis of Legionnaires’ disease model

Gadau Journal of Pure and Allied Sciences, 2023
Legionnaires’ disease is a very serious type of pneumonia (lung infection) caused by bacteria called Legionella. In this research, a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of legionnaires’ is developed. Four different reproduction numbers were obtained indicating the type of interaction between susceptible and infected and how the disease is ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...
