A functional law of large numbers for a spatial model of Muller's ratchet
João Luiz de Oliveira Madeira, Marcel Ortgiese, Sarah Penington
The paper proves that a spatial version of Muller's ratchet, modeled by interacting random-walking particles with mutation-dependent reproduction rates, converges under scaling to…
Existence, uniqueness and moment bounds for a spatial model of Muller's ratchet
João Luiz de Oliveira Madeira, Marcel Ortgiese, Sarah Penington
In this article, we consider a generalisation of the spatial Muller's ratchet introduced by Foutel-Rodier and Etheridge. This particle system is a spatial model of an asexual popul…
Analysis of a household-scale model for the invasion of Wolbachia into a resident mosquito population
Abby Barlow, Sarah Penington, Ben Adams
In areas infested with Aedes aegypti mosquitoes it may be possible to control dengue, and some other vector-borne diseases, by introducing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into the wi…
Epidemiological dynamics in populations structured by neighbourhoods and households
Abby Barlow, Ben Adams, Sarah Penington
Epidemiological dynamics are affected by the spatial and demographic structure of the host population. Households and neighbourhoods are known to be important groupings but little…
