The network level reproduction number for infectious diseases with both vertical and horizontal transmission [PDF]

Mathematical Biosciences, 2013
A wide range of infectious diseases are both vertically and horizontally transmitted. Such diseases are spatially transmitted via multiple species in heterogeneous environments, typically described by complex meta-population models. The reproduction number is a critical metric predicting whether the disease can invade the meta-population system.

Persistence of pathogens with short infectious periods in seasonal tick populations: the relative importance of three transmission routes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The flaviviruses causing tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) persist at low but consistent levels in tick populations, despite short infectious periods in their mammalian hosts and transmission periods constrained by distinctly seasonal tick life cycles.

Effects of Vertical Transmission and Human Contact on Zika Dynamics

Complexity, 2022
The main objective of Zika transmission studies is to work out the simplest approach to scale back human mortality and morbidity caused by the disease. Therefore, it is essential to spot the relative importance of the various factors contributing to the ...

Analysis of the Dynamical Properties of a Discrete-Time Infectious Disease System with Vertical Transmission

Mathematics
An investigation on a discrete-time infectious disease model that incorporating vertical transmission is presented in this paper. Departing from prior research centered on continuous-time frameworks, our study adopts a discrete-time formulation to better

The Dynamics of Epidemic Model with Two Types of Infectious Diseases and Vertical Transmission [PDF]

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2016
An epidemic model that describes the dynamics of the spread of infectious diseases is proposed. Two different types of infectious diseases that spread through both horizontal and vertical transmission in the host population are considered. The basic reproduction numberR0is determined.
