Optimal epidemic control by social distancing and vaccination of an infection structured by time since infection: the covid-19 case study
Alberto d'Onofrio, Mimmo Iannelli, Piero Manfredi +1
Motivated by the issue of COVID-19 mitigation, in this work we tackle the general problem of optimally controlling an epidemic outbreak of a communicable disease structured by time…
Spatio-temporal chaos and clustering induced by nonlocal information and vaccine hesitancy in the SIR epidemic model
Malay Banerjee, Samiran Ghosh, Piero Manfredi +1
Human behavior, and in particular vaccine hesitancy, is a critical factor for the control of childhood infectious disease. Here we propose a spatio-temporal behavioral epidemiology…
Are renewable energies on a sustained path? Analysis of selected case-studies from the pre-pandemic-era
Alessandro Bessi, Mariangela Guidolin, Piero Manfredi
Provided widespread vaccination will bring the COVID-19 pandemic under full control worldwide, the contrast to climate change and the energy transition as one of its main actions w…
Evidence of disorientation towards immunization on online social media after contrasting political communication on vaccines. Results from an analysis of Twitter data in Italy
Samantha Ajovalasit, Veronica Dorgali, Angelo Mazza +2
Background. In Italy, in recent years, vaccination coverage for key immunizations as MMR has been declining to worryingly low levels. In 2017, the Italian Gov't expanded the number…
Lyapunov stability of an SIRS epidemic model with varying population
Alberto d'Onofrio, Piero Manfredi, Ernesto Salinelli
In this paper we consider an SIRS epidemic model under a general assumption of density-dependent mortality. We prove the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium and propos…
Statistical physics of vaccination
Zhen Wang, Chris T. Bauch, Samit Bhattacharyya +6
Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease trans…
Information-related changes in contact patterns may trigger oscillations in the endemic prevalence of infectious diseases
Alberto d'Onofrio, Piero Manfredi
It is well known that behavioral changes in contact patterns may significantly affect the spread of an epidemic outbreak. Here we focus on simple endemic models for recurrent epide…
