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…
Modelling of immune cells as vectors of HIV spread inside a patient human body
Marcelo Margon Rossi, Luis Fernandez Lopez
The search to understand how the HIV virus spreads inside the human body and how the immune response works to control it has motivated studies related to Mathematical Immunology. A…
A Comparative Analysis of the Relative Efficacy of Vector-Control Strategies against Dengue Fever
Marcos Amaku, Francisco Antonio Bezerra Coutinho, Silvia Martorano Raimundo +1
The model considers the human population, the adult mosquito population and the population of immature stages, which includes eggs, larvae and pupae. The model also considers the v…
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…
