; Steindorf, V.; Srivastav, A.K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M. (2023-04-15)
; Steindorf, V.; Srivastav, A.K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M. (2023-04-15)
The burden of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) poses a challenge due to its
large negative impact on sexual and reproductive health worldwide. Besides simple
prevention measures and available treatment efforts, ...
The effect of mixed vaccination rollout strategy: A modelling study
Stollenwerk, N.; Estadilla, C. D. S.; Mar, J.; Bidaurrazaga Van-Dierdonck, J.; Ibarrondo, O.; Blasco-Aguado, R.; Aguiar, M. (2023-03-10)
; Estadilla, C. D. S.; Mar, J.; Bidaurrazaga Van-Dierdonck, J.; Ibarrondo, O.; Blasco-Aguado, R.; Aguiar, M. (2023-03-10)
Vaccines have measurable efficacy obtained first from vaccine trials. However, vaccine efficacy (VE) is not a static measure and long-term population studies are needed to evaluate its performance and impact. COVID-19 ...
Modeling the transmission dynamics and vaccination strategies for human papillomavirus infection: An optimal control approach
Saldaña, F.; Camacho-Gutiérrez, J. A.; Villavicencio-Pulido, G.; Velasco-Hernández, J. X. (2022-12)
; Camacho-Gutiérrez, J. A.; Villavicencio-Pulido, G.; Velasco-Hernández, J. X. (2022-12)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been introduced in several countries and have shown positive results in reducing HPV infection and related diseases. Nevertheless, immunization programs remain sub-optimal and more ...
Analysis of the initial phase of COVID-19 epidemics in Italy: a modeling study
(2022-10-22)
This thesis describes the first years of COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. We started looking at the data given by the Italian Civil Protection and according to the trend we nally described the epidemiological curve through a ...
Modeling secondary infections with temporary immunity and disease enhancement factor: Mechanisms for complex dynamics in simple epidemiological models
Steindorf, V.; Srivastav, A. K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Kooi, B. W.; Aguiar, M. (2022-10-04)
; Srivastav, A. K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Kooi, B. W.; Aguiar, M. (2022-10-04)
Modeling insights for epidemiological scenarios characterized by chaotic dynamics have been largely unexplored. A rigorous analysis of such systems are essential for a real predictive power and a more accurate disease ...
Modeling the initial phase of COVID-19 epidemic: The role of age and disease severity in the Basque Country, Spain
Srivastav, A. K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Bidaurrazaga Van-Dierdonck, J.; Mar, J.; Ibarrondo, O.; Aguiar, M. (2022-07-13)
; Bidaurrazaga Van-Dierdonck, J.; Mar, J.; Ibarrondo, O.; Aguiar, M. (2022-07-13)
Declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the globe. With eventually substantial global underestimation of infection, by the end of March 2022, more than 470 million ...
Modeling Dengue Immune Responses Mediated by Antibodies: Insights on the Biological Parameters to Describe Dengue Infections
Anam, V.; Sebayang, A.A.; Fahlena, H.; Knopoff, D.A.; Stollenwerk, N.; Soewono, E.; Aguiar, M. (2022-03-18)
; Sebayang, A.A.; Fahlena, H.; Knopoff, D.A.; Stollenwerk, N.; Soewono, E.; Aguiar, M. (2022-03-18)
Dengue fever is a viral mosquito-borne disease, a significant global health concern, with more than one third of the world population at risk of acquiring the disease. Caused by 4 antigenically distinct but related virus ...
Seasonally Forced SIR Systems Applied to Respiratory Infectious Diseases, Bifurcations, and Chaos
Stollenwerk, N.; Spaziani, S.; Mar, J.; Knopoff, D.A.; Cusimano, N.; Anam, V.; Aguiar, M.; Eguiguren, I.; Srivastav, A. K. (2022-03-03)
; Spaziani, S.; Mar, J.; Knopoff, D.A.; Cusimano, N.; Anam, V.; Aguiar, M.; Eguiguren, I.; Srivastav, A. K. (2022-03-03)
We investigate models to describe respiratory diseases with fast mutating virus pathogens such that after some years the aquired resistance is lost and hosts can be infected with new variants of the pathogen. Such models ...
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)
; 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 ...
Understanding COVID-19 Epidemics: A Multi-Scale Modeling Approach
Aguiar, M.; Anam, V.; Cusimano, N.; Knopoff, D.A.; Stollenwerk, N. (2022-02-18)
