The role of tunable activation thresholds in the dynamics of autoimmunity [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 308, 45-55 (2012), 2012 It has been known for some time that human autoimmune diseases can be triggered by viral infections. Several possible mechanisms of interactions between a virus and immune system have been analysed, with a prevailing opinion being that the onset of autoimmunity can in many cases be attributed to "molecular mimicry", where linear peptide epitopes ...

The spread of infections on evolving scale-free networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We study the contact process on a class of evolving scale-free networks, where each node updates its connections at independent random times. We give a rigorous mathematical proof that there is a transition between a phase where for all infection rates the infection survives for a long time, at least exponential in the network size, and a phase where ...

A demographic scaling model for estimating the total number of COVID-19 infections [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Understanding how widely COVID-19 has spread is critical for examining the pandemic's progression. Despite efforts to carefully monitor the pandemic, the number of confirmed cases may underestimate the total number of infections. We introduce a demographic scaling model to estimate COVID-19 infections using an broadly applicable approach that is based ...

Phenomenological description of spread of Covid-19 in Italy: people mobility as main factor controlling propagation of infection cases [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), starting in late 2019, has determined in Italy several interventions aimed to prevent saturation of the health system. We have examined the effects of such measures by proposing a mean-field model describing the spread of the infection based on a simple diffusion process where all the observable variables ...

Epidemic spread on one-way circular-coupled networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Real epidemic spreading networks often composed of several kinds of networks interconnected with each other, and the interrelated networks have the different topologies and epidemic dynamics. Moreover, most human diseases are derived from animals, and the zoonotic infections always spread on interconnected networks.
