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

Asymptomatic transmission shifts epidemic dynamics
Asymptomatic transmission of infectious diseases has been recognized recently in several epidemics or pandemics. There is a great need to incorporate asymptomatic transmissions into traditional modeling of infectious diseases and to study how ...

Estimating the Basic Reproductive Number from Viral Sequence Data [PDF]
Epidemiological processes leave a fingerprint in the pattern of genetic structure of virus populations. Here, we provide a new method to infer epidemiological parameters directly from viral sequence data. The method is based on phylogenetic analysis using a birth-death model (BDM) rather than the commonly used coalescent as the model for the ...

Towards an understanding of the perpetuation of the agent of tularemia
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.

Basic reproduction number for the Brazilian Spotted Fever
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 ...

Basic reproductive number for a general hybrid epidemic model [PDF]
Abstract In this paper, a general hybrid epidemic model with multiple and non-periodic pulses in an environmental period is investigated. The definition and computation for the basic reproductive number R0 $R_{0}$ are established. The published periodic research model (Yang, Xiao in Nonlinear Anal., Real World Appl.

A review of epidemiological parameters from Ebola outbreaks to inform early public health decision-making. [PDF]
The unprecedented scale of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has, as of 29 April 2015, resulted in more than 10,884 deaths among 26,277 cases. Prior to the ongoing outbreak, Ebola virus disease (EVD) caused relatively small outbreaks (maximum outbreak ...

A mathematical model for Vibrio-phage interactions
A cholera model has been formulated to incorporate the interaction of bacteria and phage. It is shown that there may exist three equilibria: one disease free and two endemic equilibria.

A Tour of the Basic Reproductive Number and the Next Generation of Researchers [PDF]
The Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) is a national award winning Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) that has been running every summer since 1996. Since 1997, students have developed and proposed their own research questions and derived their research projects from them as the keystone of the program.
