Modeling COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunological memory development and its links to antibody level and infectiousness [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 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-

Hopf-bifurcation analysis of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 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.
