The evolution of parasite virulence under targeted culling and harvesting in wildlife and livestock
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 There is a clear need to understand the effect of human intervention on the evolution of infectious disease. In particular, culling and harvesting of both wildlife and managed livestock populations are carried out in a wide range of management practices,

The SIR dynamic model of infectious disease transmission and its analogy with chemical kinetics
PeerJ Physical Chemistry, 2020 Mathematical models of the dynamics of infectious disease transmission are used to forecast epidemics and assess mitigation strategies. In this article, we highlight the analogy between the dynamics of disease transmission and chemical reaction kinetics ...

Source terms for benchmarking models of SARS-CoV-2 transmission via aerosols and droplets
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 There is ongoing and rapid advancement in approaches to modelling the fate of exhaled particles in different environments relevant to disease transmission. It is important that models are verified by comparison with each other using a common set of input
