Estimating the Size of Aedes aegypti Populations from Dengue Incidence Data: Implications for the Risk of Yellow Fever, Zika Virus and Chikungunya Outbreaks
Eduardo Massad, Marcos Amaku, Francisco Antonio Bezerra Coutinho +4
In this paper we present a model to estimate the density of aedes mosquitoes in a community affected by dengue. The model is based on the fitting of a continuous function to the in…
Estimating the prevalence of infectious diseases from under-reported age-dependent compulsorily notification databases
Marcos Amaku, Marcelo Nascimento Burattini, Eleazar Chaib +4
Background: National or local laws, norms or regulations (sometimes and in some countries) require medical providers to report notifiable diseases to public health authorities. Rep…
Vaccination against rubella: Analysis of the temporal evolution of the age-dependent force of infection and the effects of different contact patterns
M. Amaku, F. A. B. Coutinho, R. S. Azevedo +3
In this paper, we analyze the temporal evolution of the age-dependent force of infection and incidence of rubella, after the introduction of a very specific vaccination programme i…
An approximate threshold condition for a non-autonomous system: an application to a vector-borne infection
F. A. B. Coutinho, M. N. Burattini, L. F. Lopez +1
A non-autonomous system is proposed to model the seasonal pattern of dengue fever. We found that an approximate threshold condition for infection persistence describes all possible…
A schematic age-structured compartment model of the impact of antiretroviral therapy on HIV incidence and prevalence
L. F. Lopez, F. A. B. Coutinho, M. N. Burattini +1
A simple deterministic model is proposed to represent the basic aspects concerning the effects of different antiretroviral treatment schedules on HIV incidence and prevalence of af…
