[HTML][HTML] Nicholson's blowflies differential equations revisited: main results and open problems

L Berezansky, E Braverman, L Idels - Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2010 - Elsevier
This review covers permanence, oscillation, local and global stability of solutions for
Nicholson's blowflies differential equation. Some generalizations, including the most recent …

Analysis of a dengue disease transmission model

L Esteva, C Vargas - Mathematical biosciences, 1998 - Elsevier
A model for the transmission of dengue fever in a constant human population and variable
vector population is discussed. A complete global analysis is given, which uses the results of …

Beating the odds: factors implicated in the speed and availability of unrelated haematopoietic cell donor provision

RN Lown, BE Shaw - Bone marrow transplantation, 2013 - nature.com
The demand for unrelated haematopoietic cell (HPC) donors has risen threefold over the
last decade, and is likely to continue to rise over the next 10 years. The time taken from …

Competitive exclusion in a vector-host model for the dengue fever

Z Feng, JX Velasco-Hernández - Journal of mathematical biology, 1997 - Springer
We study a system of differential equations that models the population dynamics of an SIR
vector transmitted disease with two pathogen strains. This model arose from our study of the …

Interaction of maturation delay and nonlinear birth in population and epidemic models

K Cooke, P Van den Driessche, X Zou - Journal of Mathematical biology, 1999 - Springer
A population with birth rate function B (N) N and linear death rate for the adult stage is
assumed to have a maturation delay T> 0. Thus the growth equation N′(t)= B (N (t− T)) N …

A model for dengue disease with variable human population

L Esteva, C Vargas - Journal of mathematical biology, 1999 - Springer
A model for the transmission of dengue fever with variable human population size is
analyzed. We find three threshold parameters which govern the existence of the endemic …

A new method for estimating the effort required to control an infectious disease

MG Roberts, JAP Heesterbeek - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We propose a new threshold quantity for the analysis of the epidemiology of infectious
diseases. The quantity is similar in concept to the familiar basic reproduction ratio, R0, but it …

Modeling household transmission of American trypanosomiasis

JE Cohen, RE Gurtler - Science, 2001 - science.org
American trypanosomiasis, or Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite
Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by blood-feeding triatomine bugs, is a chronic …

A nonlocal and time-delayed reaction-diffusion model of dengue transmission

W Wang, XQ Zhao - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2011 - SIAM
A nonlocal and time-delayed reaction-diffusion model of dengue fever is first proposed that
incorporates the aquatic stage, the winged stage, and the incubation periods of the dengue …

Global analysis of an SIS model with an infective vector on complex networks

Y Wang, Z Jin, Z Yang, ZK Zhang, T Zhou… - Nonlinear Analysis: Real …, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper, a modified SIS model with an infective vector on complex networks is proposed
and analyzed, which incorporates some infectious diseases that are not only transmitted by …
