A new spectral method based on two classes of hat functions for solving systems of fractional differential equations and an application to respiratory syncytial virus infection [PDF]
We propose a new spectral method, based on two classes of hat functions, for solving systems of fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. Properties of the basis functions, Caputo derivatives, and Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, are used to reduce the main problem to a system of nonlinear ...

Accurately summarizing an outbreak using epidemiological models takes time [PDF]
Recent outbreaks of monkeypox and Ebola, and worrying waves of COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, have all led to a sharp increase in the use of epidemiological models to estimate key epidemiological parameters. The feasibility of this estimation task is known as the practical identifiability (PI) problem.

Genetic relatedness of infecting and reinfecting respiratory syncytial virus strains identified in a birth cohort from rural Kenya [PDF]
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) reinfects individuals repeatedly. The extent to which this is a consequence of RSV antigenic diversity is unclear.
