Analysis of Contagion Dynamics with Active Cyber Defenders [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we analyze the infection spreading dynamics of malware in a population of cyber nodes (i.e., computers or devices). Unlike most prior studies where nodes are reactive to infections, in our setting some nodes are active defenders meaning that they are able to clean up malware infections of their neighboring nodes, much like how spreading ...

Babesia spp. and other pathogens in ticks recovered from domestic dogs in Denmark
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Newly recognized endemic foci for human babesiosis include Europe, where Ixodes ricinus, a vector for several species of Babesia, is the most commonly identified tick.

A node-based SIRS epidemic model with infective media on complex networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this paper, we focus on the node-based epidemic modeling for networks, introduce the propagation medium and propose a node-based Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Susceptible (SIRS) epidemic model with infective media. Theoretical investigations show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.

Spatiotemporal fluctuation scaling law and metapopulation modeling of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and SARS outbreaks [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We comparatively analyzed the spatiotemporal fluctuations of the 2019-novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and SARS outbreaks to understand their epidemiological characteristics. Methodologically, we introduced TPL (Taylor power law) to characterize their spatiotemporal heterogeneity/stability and Hubbell (2001) unified neutral theory of biodiversity (UNTB ...

Epidemic modeling and flattening the infection curve in social networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The main goal of this paper is to model the epidemic and flattening the infection curve of the social networks. Flattening the infection curve implies slowing down the spread of the disease and reducing the infection rate via social-distancing, isolation (quarantine) and vaccination.

Nonlinear Dynamic analysis of vector-host model for Zika infection with predatory fish Gambusia Affinis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In the present paper, we study the dynamics of a nine compartmental vector-host model for Zika virus infection where the predatory fish Gambusia Affinis is introduced into the system to control the zika infection by preying on the vector. The system has six practically feasible equilibrium points where four of them are disease-free, and the rest are ...

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2023 Background The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly challenged societies and healthcare systems in particular. To prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies had to be developed on the local, national and international

Advances in infection control [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo), 2016 ABSTRACT Several initiatives took place in recent years in relation to nosocomial infection control in order to increase patient safety. Some of these initiatives will be commented in this brief review.

Active Control and Sustained Oscillations in actSIS Epidemic Dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An actively controlled Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (actSIS) contagion model is presented for studying epidemic dynamics with continuous-time feedback control of infection rates. Our work is inspired by the observation that epidemics can be controlled through decentralized disease-control strategies such as quarantining, sheltering in place, social

THE CONTROL OF TYPHOID INFECTION [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1913 The typhoid problem in Wilmington as elsewhere is occasioned by the exposure of infected feces to flies, and by the pollution of the soil and water. In rural districts, towns and small cities where the use of the sewer is limited or does not exist, it is obvious that the first attempt at typhoid control must be directed toward the sanitary disposal of ...
