Estimation of Hospital Potential Capacity and Basic Reproduction Number
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014 In order to reflect the population covered by institutional medical services, the concept of hospital potential capacity is proposed and a formula for its estimation is developed based on a population dynamic model.

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.

Multi-Patch and Multi-Group Epidemic Models: A New Framework [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2017, 2017 We develop a multi-patch and multi-group model that captures the dynamics of an infectious disease when the host is structured into an arbitrary number of groups and interacts into an arbitrary number of patches where the infection takes place. In this framework, we model host mobility that depends on its epidemiological status, by a Lagrangian ...

A mathematical model for Vibrio-phage interactions
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 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.

Estimation of Basic Reproduction Number of the COVID-19 Epidemic in Denmark using a Two-Step Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Objective: To conduct an early estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number (BRN) induced by government interference, and to project resulting day to day number of in-patients, ICU-patients and cumulative number of deaths in a Danish setting. Method: We used the Kermack and McKendrick model with varying basic reproduction number to estimate number ...

Journal of Scientific Computing, 2020 We contribute a full analysis of theoretical and numerical aspects of the collocation approach recently proposed by some of the authors to compute the basic reproduction number of structured population dynamics as spectral radius of certain infinite ...

Effects of Demographic and Weather Parameters on COVID-19 Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 It is hard to overstate the importance of a timely prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic progression. Yet, this is not possible without a comprehensive understanding of environmental factors that may affect the infection transmissibility.

Systematic evaluation of the population-level effects of alternative treatment strategies on the basic reproduction number [PDF]
, 2018 An approach to estimate the influence of the treatment-type controls on the basic reproduction number, R 0 , is proposed and elaborated. The presented approach allows one to estimate the effect of a given treatment strategy or to compare a number of different treatment strategies on the basic reproduction number.
