Social and cultural forces shape almost every aspect of infectious disease transmission in
human populations, as well as our ability to measure, understand, and respond to …

In sub-Saharan Africa, malaria is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. As a result of
the interplay between many factors, the control of this disease can be challenging. However …

Infectious diseases kill millions of people each year, and they are the major public health
problem in the world. This paper presents a modified Susceptible-Latent-Infected-Removed …

The global vaccine market is diverse while facing a plethora of novel developments. Genetic
modification (GM) techniques facilitate the design of'smarter'vaccines. For many of the major …

We investigate a two-strain disease model with amplification to simulate the prevalence of
drug-susceptible (s) and drug-resistant (m) disease strains. Drug resistance first emerges …

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading infectious cause of death worldwide. Reducing TB
infections and TB-related deaths rests ultimately on stopping forward transmission from …

Since their earliest days, humans have been struggling with infectious diseases. Caused by
viruses, bacteria, protozoa, or even higher organisms like worms, these diseases depend …

In recent years, antibiotic resistance to the most effective treatments has emerged and
spread. This has led to a decline in the efficacy of antibiotics used to treat patients, with drug …

In the long history of microorganism use, yeasts have been developed as hosts for
producing biologically active compounds or for conventional fermentation. Since the …

Mathematical modellers model infectious disease dynamics at different scales. Within-host
models represent the spread of pathogens inside an individual, whilst between-host models …
