Change in Composition of the Anopheles Gambiae Complex and its Possible Implications for the Transmission of Malaria and Lymphatic Filariasis in North-Eastern Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2012 A dramatic decline in the incidence of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum infection in coastal East Africa has recently been reported to be paralleled (or even preceded) by an equally dramatic decline in malaria vector density, despite absence of ...

Chance-Constrained Control with Lexicographic Deep Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
, 2020 This paper proposes a lexicographic Deep Reinforcement Learning (DeepRL)-based approach to chance-constrained Markov Decision Processes, in which the controller seeks to ensure that the probability of satisfying the constraint is above a given threshold.

A simulation model for the Chikungunya with vectorial capacity
Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2015 We have formulated a simulation model with base in non-linear ordinary differential equations following the formalism stated by Sir Ronald Ross for the Malaria, using the therm of incidence, the vectorial capacity of the Aedes aegypti and the sinusoidal-like temperature effect in the probabilities of virus transmission to the susceptible people and to ...

Deforestation and Vectorial Capacity of Anopheles gambiae Giles Mosquitoes in Malaria Transmission, Kenya [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 We investigated the effects of deforestation on microclimates and sporogonic development of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in an area of the western Kenyan highland prone to malaria epidemics. An. gambiae mosquitoes were fed with P. falciparum-infected blood through membrane feeders. Fed mosquitoes were placed in houses
