Mass vaccination in a roaring pandemic

Giuseppe Gaeta

Mass vaccination produces a reduction in virus circulation, but also evolutive pressure towards the appearance of virus-resistant strains. We discuss the balance between these two…

Size and timescale of epidemics in the SIR framework

Mariano Cadoni, Giuseppe Gaeta

The most important features to assess the severity of an epidemic are its size and its timescale. We discuss these features in a systematic way in the context of SIR and SIR-type m…

Social distancing versus early detection and contacts tracing in epidemic management

Giuseppe Gaeta

Different countries -- and sometimes different regions within the same countries -- have adopted different strategies in trying to contain the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic; these mix…

A simple SIR model with a large set of asymptomatic infectives

Giuseppe Gaeta

There is increasing evidence that one of the most difficult problems in trying to control the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic is the presence of a large cohort of asymptomatic infectives…

The generality of transient compartmentalization and its associated error thresholds

Alex Blokhuis, Philippe Nghe, Luca Peliti +1

Can prelife proceed without cell division? A recently proposed mechanism suggests that transient compartmentalization could have preceded cell division in prebiotic scenarios. Here…

Selection dynamics in transient compartmentalization

Alex Blokhuis, David Lacoste, Philippe Nghe +1

Transient compartments have been recently shown to be able to maintain functional replicators in the context of prebiotic studies. Motivated by this experiment, we show that a broa…
