The impact of vaccination on human papillomavirus infection with disassortative geographical mixing Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can spread between regions. What is the impact of disassortative geographical mixing on the …

What is Influenza-Like Illness? Influenza-like illness (ILI) is a not a single disease, but is a large group of pathogens grouped together because they have similar symptoms. In the United …

Mathematical models of infectious diseases -- Consequences of underlying assumptions Mathematical models have been used to study various disease transmission dynamics and control for epidemics. Many of these studies are …

Stochasticity and Heterogeneity in the Aedes aegypti/Dengue Transmission System: Implications for Spread and Control of Infection The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the vector for several infections of public health concern, …

Modeling rate of adaptive trait evolution using Cox–Ingersoll–Ross process: An Approximate Bayesian Computation approach Abstract: Over the past decades, the Gaussian process has been widely used to study trait evolution. …

Modelling environmentally transmitted pathogens Many pathogens are able to replicate or survive in abiotic environments. Disease transmission models that include environmental reservoirs and environment-to-host transmission have used a variety of …

Transmission intervals and COVID control The spread of epidemics is structured by delay distributions, including the now-famous "serial interval" between the symptom-onset times of an infector and an infectee (often …

Vector-borne diseases spread and control: The case of Chikungunya in French overseas territories and consequences for dissemination in mainland territory Dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses have expanded their geographic range …

Nonlinear impacts of climate change on dengue transmission Dengue is a re-emerging mosquito-borne disease that infects hundreds of millions each year—a burden that is expected to increase with climate change. …
