Lyapunov Functions for Tuberculosis Models with Fast and Slow Progression [PDF]
, 2006 The spread of tuberculosis is studied through two models which include fast and slow progression to the infected class. For each model, Lyapunov functions are used to show that when the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one, the disease ...

The epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis: transmission rates estimated from a cohort study in Amazonian Brazil [PDF]
, 1997 We estimate the incidence rate, serological conversion rate and basic case reproduction number (R0) of Leishmania infantum from a cohort study of 126 domestic dogs exposed to natural infection rates over 2 years on Marajó Island, Pará State, Brazil.

Genealogy with seasonality, the basic reproduction number, and the influenza pandemic [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2010 The basic reproduction number R (0) has been used in population biology, especially in epidemiology, for several decades. But a suitable definition in the case of models with periodic coefficients was given only in recent years. The definition involves the spectral radius of an integral operator.

Asymptomatic transmission shifts epidemic dynamics
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 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 ...

A superinfection model on malaria transmission: analysis on the invasion basic reproduction number
, 2021 Malaria is one of the many kinds of vector-borne diseases which threaten many developing countries around the world every year. Malaria is caused by more than one type of Plasmodium, which allows a superinfection between two kinds of Plasmodium in the ...

Estimating the reproduction number of Ebola virus (EBOV) during the 2014 outbreak in West Africa [PDF]
, 2014 The 2014 Ebola virus (EBOV) outbreak in West Africa is the largest outbreak of the genus Ebolavirus to date. To better understand the spread of infection in the affected countries, it is crucial to know the number of secondary cases generated by an ...

A review of epidemiological parameters from Ebola outbreaks to inform early public health decision-making. [PDF]
, 2015 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 ...

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.
