Practical identifiability and parameter estimation of compartmental epidemiological models
Q. Y. Chen, Z. Rapti, Y. Drossinos +3
Practical parameter identifiability in ODE-based epidemiological models is a known issue, yet one that merits further study. It is essentially ubiquitous due to noise and errors in…
The role of mobility in the dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Andalusia
Z. Rapti, J. Cuevas-Maraver, E. Kontou +6
Metapopulation models have been a popular tool for the study of epidemic spread over a network of highly populated nodes (cities, provinces, countries) and have been extensively us…
Backcasting COVID-19: A Physics-Informed Estimate for Early Case Incidence
G. A. Kevrekidis, Z. Rapti, Y. Drossinos +4
It is widely accepted that the number of reported cases during the first stages of the COVID-19 pandemic severely underestimates the number of actual cases. We leverage delay embed…
Phage-antibiotic synergy inhibited by temperate and chronic virus competition
Kylie J Landa, Lauren M Mossman, Rachel J Whitaker +2
As antibiotic resistance grows more frequent for common bacterial infections, alternative treatment strategies such as phage therapy have become more widely studied in the medical…
Reaction-diffusion spatial modeling of COVID-19: Greece and Andalusia as case examples
P. G. Kevrekidis, J. Cuevas-Maraver, Y. Drossinos +2
We examine the spatial modeling of the outbreak of COVID-19 in two regions: the autonomous community of Andalusia in Spain and the mainland of Greece. We start with a 0D compartmen…
Temperate and chronic virus competition leads to low lysogen frequency
Sara M. Clifton, Rachel J. Whitaker, Zoi Rapti
The canonical bacteriophage is obligately lytic: the virus infects a bacterium and hijacks cell functions to produce large numbers of new viruses which burst from the cell. These v…
