Mathematical modelling and statistical inference provide a framework to evaluate different
non-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical interventions for the control of epidemics that has …

Vertex degree—the number of edges that are incident to a vertex—is a fundamental concept
in network theory. It is the historically first and conceptually simplest centrality concept to rate …

This article describes an original methodology for integrating global SIR-like epidemic
models with spatial interaction models, which enables the forecasting of COVID-19 …

We develop a multi-group and multi-patch model to study the effects of population dispersal
on the spatial spread of vector-borne diseases across a heterogeneous environment. The …

In this paper, we present a method to forecast the spread of SARS-CoV-2 across regions
with a focus on the role of mobility. Mobility has previously been shown to play a significant …

Spain experienced a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in autumn 2020, which has
been approached with different measures by regional authorities. We analyze the presence …

The global spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2,
has casted a significant threat to mankind. As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve …

During its first 2 years, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic manifested as multiple waves shaped by
complex interactions between variants of concern, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and …

Since the earliest outbreak of COVID-19, the disease continues to obstruct life normalcy in
many parts of the world. The present work proposes a mathematical framework to improve …

Infectious diseases attack humans from time to time and threaten the lives and survival of
people all around the world. An important strategy to prevent the spatial spread of infectious …
