Global stability properties of a class of renewal epidemic models with variable susceptibility
Michael T. Meehan, Daniel G. Cocks, Emma S. McBryde
We investigate the global dynamics of a renewal-type epidemic model with variable susceptibility. We show that in this extended model there exists a unique endemic equilibrium and…
Mathematical analysis of a two-strain disease model with amplification
Md Abdul Kuddus, Michael T. Meehan, Adeshina I. Adekunle +2
We investigate a two-strain disease model with amplification to simulate the prevalence of drug-susceptible (s) and drug-resistant (m) disease strains. We model the emergence of dr…
On the probability of strain invasion in endemic settings: accounting for individual heterogeneity and control in multi-strain dynamics
Michael T. Meehan, Robert C. Cope, Emma S. McBryde
The rise of antimicrobial drug resistance is an imminent threat to global health that has warranted, and duly received, considerable attention within the medical, microbiological a…
Mathematical analysis of a Wolbachia invasive model with imperfect maternal transmission and loss of Wolbachia infection
Adeshina I. Adekunle, Michael T. Meehan, Emma S. McBryde
Arboviral infections, especially dengue, continue to cause significant health burden in their endemic regions. One of the strategies to tackle these infections is to replace the ma…
