Invasive pneumococcal disease in relation to vaccine type serotypes
Since 1983 the world has been introduced to four vaccines combating disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. However, despite vaccination programs disease caused by S.

Hopf-bifurcation analysis of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays [PDF]
In this paper, a mathematical model of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays is proposed. The stability theory of delay differential equations is used to analyze the model. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable if the control reproduction ratio R0 is less than unity and unstable otherwise.

The Impact of Vaccine Hesitancy on Epidemic Spreading [PDF]
The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the world in an unprecedented way, causing enormous loss of life. Time and again, public health authorities have urged people to become vaccinated to protect themselves and mitigate the spread of the disease. However, vaccine hesitancy has stalled vaccination levels in the United States.

Modeling COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunological memory development and its links to antibody level and infectiousness [PDF]
COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the dynamics of vaccine-induced immunological memory development and neutralizing antibodies generation are not fully understood, limiting vaccine development and vaccination regimen determination. Herein, we constructed a mathematical model to characterize the vaccine-
