Hamiltonian analysis of subcritical stochastic epidemic dynamics
Lee Worden, Ira B. Schwartz, Simone Bianco +3
We extend a technique of approximation of the long-term behavior of a supercritical stochastic epidemic model, using the WKB approximation and a Hamiltonian phase space, to the sub…

Products of Compartmental Models in Epidemiology
Lee Worden, Travis C. Porco
In this paper, we show that many structured epidemic models may be described using a straightforward product structure. Such products, derived from products of directed graphs, may…

Prevention and control of Zika fever as a mosquito-borne and sexually transmitted disease
Daozhou Gao, Yijun Lou, Daihai He +4
The ongoing Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic poses a major global public health emergency. It is known that ZIKV is spread by \textit{Aedes} mosquitoes, recent studies show that ZIKV can…
