Mobility restrictions for the control of epidemics: When do they work?
Baltazar Espinoza, Carlos Castillo-Chavez, Charles Perrings
Mobility restrictions - travel advisories, trade and travel bans, border closures and, in extreme cases, area quarantines or cordons sanitaires - are among the most widely used mea…
Epidemics on Networks: Reducing Disease Transmission Using Health Emergency Declarations and Peer Communication
Asma Azizi, Cesar Montalvo, Baltazar Espinoza +2
Understanding individual decisions in a world where communications and information move instantly via cell phones and the internet, contributes to the development and implementatio…
Assessing the impact of non-vaccinators: quantifying the average length of infection chains in outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease
Sherry Towers, Linda J. S. Allen, Fred Brauer +1
Analytical expressions for the basic reproduction number, R0, have been obtained in the past for a wide variety of mathematical models for infectious disease spread, along with exp…
Role of Mobility and Health Disparities on the Transmission Dynamics of Tuberculosis
Victor Moreno, Baltazar Espinoza, Kamal Barley +4
The transmission dynamics of Tuberculosis (TB) involve complex epidemiological and socio-economical interactions between individuals living in highly distinct regional conditions.…
Role of short-term dispersal on the dynamics of Zika virus
Victor Moreno, Baltazar Espinoza, Derdei Bichara +2
In November 2015, El Salvador reported their first case of Zika virus (Zv) leading to an explosive outbreak that in just two months had over 6000 suspected cases. Many communities…
Assessing the Efficiency of \textit{Cordon Sanitaire} as a Control Strategy of Ebola
Baltazar Espinoza, Victor Moreno, Derdei Bichara +1
We formulate a two-patch mathematical model for Ebola Virus Disease dynamics in order to evaluate the effectiveness of \textit{cordons sanitaires}, mandatory movement restrictions…
Restrictions of harmonic functions and Dirichlet eigenfunctions of the Hata set to the interval
Baltazar Espinoza, Ricardo A. Sáenz
In this paper we study the harmonic functions and the Dirichlet eigenfunctions of the Hata set, and their restrictions to the interval , its main edge. We prove that these r…
