Constructing far-from-equilibrium patterns in a cross-diffusion vegetation-autotoxicity model
Annalisa Iuorio, Cinzia Soresina, Frits Veerman
Using geometric singular perturbation theory, we construct stationary, periodic, front-type far-from-equilibrium patterns in a cross-diffusion model for plant growth under the infl…
A model for mosquito-borne epidemic outbreaks with information-dependent protective behaviour
Simone De Reggi, Andrea Pugliese, Mattia Sensi +1
We investigate a model for a mosquito-borne epidemic in which human hosts may adopt protective behaviour against vector bites in response to information on both past and current di…
SEIR models with host heterogeneity: theoretical aspects and applications to seasonal influenza dynamics
Tamás Tekeli, Andrea Pugliese, Cinzia Soresina
Population heterogeneity is a key factor in epidemic dynamics, influencing both transmission and final epidemic size. While heterogeneity is often modelled through age structure, s…
On the effectiveness of odor-baited traps on mosquito-borne infections
Haonan Zhong, Marina Lima, Andrea Pugliese +3
The host's odor serves as a critical biological tracking signal in the host-seeking process of mosquitoes, and its heterogeneity significantly influences the transmission of mosqui…
Beyond water limitation in vegetation-autotoxicity patterning: a cross-diffusion model
Francesco Giannino, Annalisa Iuorio, Cinzia Soresina
Many mathematical models describing vegetation patterns are based on biomass--water interactions, due to the impact of this limited resource in arid and semi-arid environments. How…
