Virus Antibody Dynamics in Primary and Secondary Dengue Infections [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Dengue viral infections show unique infection patterns arising from its four serot- ypes, (DENV-1,2,3,4).

Viable Control of an Epidemiological Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
In mathematical epidemiology, epidemic control often aims at driving the number of infected individuals to zero, asymptotically. However , during the transitory phase, the number of infected can peak at high values. In this paper, we consider mosquito vector control in the Ross-Macdonald epidemiological model, with the goal of capping the proportion of
