Cross immunity protection and antibody-dependent enhancement in a distributed delay dynamic model
(2022-01-01)Dengue fever is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries, and certain important features of the spread of dengue fever continue to pose challenges for mathematical modelling. Here we propose a system of integro-differential ... -
Effect of General Cross-Immunity Protection and Antibody- Dependent Enhancement in Dengue Dynamics
Steindorf, V; Oliva, S.; Wu, J.; Aguiar, M. (2022-02-13)
A mathematical model to describe the dynamic of a multiserotype infectious disease at the population level is studied. Applied to dengue fever epidemiology, we analyse a mathematical model with time delay to describe the ... -
Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamics of COVID-19: The Case Study of Italy and Spain
Srivastav, A. K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M. (2022-02-13)
In December 2019, a severe respiratory syndrome (COVID-19) caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in China and spread rapidly around the globe. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization ... -
Modelling Holling type II functional response in deterministic and stochastic food chain models with mass conservation
Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M.; Kooi, B. W. (2022-03-01)
The Rosenzweig-MacArthur predator-prey model is the building block in modeling food chain, food webs and ecosystems. There are a number of hidden assumptions involved in the derivation. For instance the prey population ... -
Spatially Extended SHAR Epidemiological Framework of Infectious Disease Transmission
Knopoff, D.A.; Cusimano, N.; Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M. (2022-02-13)
Mathematical models play an important role in epidemiology. The inclusion of a spatial component in epidemiological models is especially important to understand and address many relevant ecological and public health ... -
The role of mild and asymptomatic infections on COVID-19 vaccines performance: A modeling study
Aguiar, M.; Bidaurrazaga Van-Dierdonck, J.; Mar, J; Stollenwerk, N. (2021-11-16)
Introduction: Different COVID-19 vaccine efficacies are reported, with remarkable effectiveness against severe disease. The so called sterilizing immunity, occurring when vaccinated individuals cannot transmit the virus, ... -
Modeling and optimal control of dengue disease with screening and information
(2021-11-27)This study presents a mathematical model for dengue transmission which quantifies two very important aspects: one, the impact of information-based behavioural response, and the other, the segregation of infected human ... -
Systematic Characterization of High-Power Short-Duration Ablation: Insight From an Advanced Virtual Model
(2021)High-power short-duration (HPSD) recently emerged as a new approach to radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation. However, basic and clinical data supporting its effectiveness and safety is still scarce -
Chronic stimulation induces adaptive potassium channel activity that restores calcium oscillations in pancreatic islets in vitro
(2020-04-01)Insulin pulsatility is important to hepatic response in regulating blood glucose. Growing evidence suggests that insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells can adapt to chronic disruptions of pulsatility to rescue this physiologically ... -
Modeling dengue immune responses mediated by antibodies: A qualitative study
Sebayang, A.A.; Fahlena, H.; Anam, V.; Knopoff, D.A.; Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M.; Soewono, E. (2021-09-01)
