The basic‐reproduction number of infectious diseases in spatially structured host populations
The spatial structure of a host population has a profound effect on the dynamics of infectious diseases. The basic reproduction number, a central quantity in the study of epidemic dynamics, is affected by host clustering as well as host density.

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 ...

Mathematical modelling of internal HIV dynamics [PDF]
We study a mathematical model for the viral dynamics of HIV in an infected individual in the presence of HAART. The paper starts with a literature review and then formulates the basic mathematical model.

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 ...

Limiting the spread of disease through altered migration patterns [PDF]
We consider a model for an epidemic in a population that occupies geographically distinct locations. The disease is spread within subpopulations by contacts between infective and susceptible individuals, and is spread between subpopulations by the ...

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.

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.
