Within-host immunology to age-of-infection epidemiology via a virtual cohort
Julien Arino, Morgan Craig, Clotilde Djuikem +2
We present a methodology providing a one-directional link from within-host individual heterogeneity to population-level disease transmission dynamics. The methodology works in seve…
Deterministic and stochastic infection dynamics in a population subject to stress
Clotilde Djuikem, Julien Arino
Physiological stress fundamentally alters disease susceptibility in aquatic environments. In this paper, we develop a stress-structured epidemiological model where host vulnerabili…
Threshold-based impulsive biocontrol for coffee leaf rust
Clotilde Djuikem, Julien Arino
Coffee leaf rust (CLR) severely affects coffee production worldwide, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. To reduce the cost of control, small-scale farmers often only ap…
Transmission of multiple pathogens across species
Clotilde Djuikem, Julien Arino
We analyse a model that describes the propagation of many pathogens within and between many species. A branching process approximation is used to compute the probability of disease…
Dynamics and control of maize infection by Busseola fusca: multi-seasonal modeling and biocontrol strategies
Clotilde Djuikem, Josué Tchouanti
Maize production in sub-Saharan Africa faces significant challenges due to the maize stalk borer (Busseola fusca), a major pest that causes substantial yield losses. Chemical contr…
