Journal ArticleDOI
Neglected tropical diseases: infection, modeling, and control.
Alison Kealey,Robert J. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that few NTDs have received much attention from mathematical models, and that some have received no attention at all, and simple mathematical models could contribute significantly to the understanding of these diseases and the efforts required to control them, at very little cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mathematical model of avian influenza with half-saturated incidence
TL;DR: A mathematical model of avian influenza for both bird and human populations is developed and it is shown that by decreasing the rate βm at which human-to-human mutant influenza is contracted, an outbreak can be controlled more effectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the HIV/AIDS epidemic and measuring the effect of mobility in mainland China
TL;DR: The results based on a spatially stratified population dynamical model show increasing mobility rates of HIV/AIDS cases can have a significant effect on the number of HIV-positive individuals per province and has the potential to decrease the overall number of AIDS cases in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-smooth plant disease models with economic thresholds.
TL;DR: The ideas of constructing Lyapunov functions for Filippov systems, the methods of analyzing such systems and the main results presented here provide scientific support for completing control regimens on plant diseases in integrated disease management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining Effective Spraying Periods to Control Malaria via Indoor Residual Spraying in Sub-Saharan Africa.
TL;DR: It is shown that both regular and nonfixed spraying will result in a significant reduction in the overall number of mosquitoes, as well as the number of malaria cases in humans, and is recommended that the use of indoor spraying be re-examined for widespread application in malaria-endemic areas.
