Endemic Chagas Disease [PDF]

, 2009
Infections by Trypanosoma cruzi are transmitted commonly by triatomines, hematophagous insects adapted to anthropophilic behavior. With its potential enzootic presence for over 90 million years, Chagas disease in humans has been documented in 9 thousand-year-old mummies from the Atacama Desert.

Endemic Disease Models [PDF]

, 2019
In this chapter, we consider models for disease that may be endemic. In the preceding chapter we studied SIS models with and without demographics and SIR models with demographics. In each model, the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] determined a threshold. If [Formula: see text] the disease dies out, while if [Formula: see text] the disease
