ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF VACCINATION AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE ON OUTBREAKS OF EMERGING RESPIRATORY DISEASES
Alharbi, Mohammed Hameed; 0000-0002-3835-407X (2021-05-03)The purpose of this dissertation is to use mathematical models to evaluate the impact of characteristics of respiratory diseases like influenza and COVID-19 either alone or co-circulating and how might influenza vaccine ... -
Effects Of Vector Migration On Sylvatic Trypanosoma Cruzi Transmission
Crawford, Britnee A. (Mathematics, 2012-07-25)Vector-borne diseases have had a major impact on global health concerns since their discovery in the 1800's. A vector-borne disease is one transmitted to human or animal host via an invertebrate vector (usually an insect). ... -
Impact of domestic animals on prevalence of vector-borne diseases in humans
Zahid, MD Mondal Hasan; 0000-0002-1832-8974 (2020-06-05)Vector-borne infectious diseases are one of the leading problems for public health worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. These diseases infect humans through the bite of infected vectors. The ... -
The Impact Of Vaccination And Multiple Types Of HPV On Cervical Cancer
Crawford, Britnee A. (Mathematics, 2008-09-17)Understanding the relationship between multiple strains of human papillomavirus and cervical cancer may play a key role in vaccination strategies for the virus. In this article we formulate a model with two strains of ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Scavengers and Zebras on the African Savanna with Disease Dynamics
Mackey, Crystal Dawn; 0000-0001-5360-6522 (2020-09-01)The purpose of this dissertation is to use mathematical models to see how anthrax in the zebra population in Etosha National Park (ENP) interacts with scavenger populations and disease dynamics. First, we study if scavengers ... -
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF ZIKA VIRUS TRANSMISSION AND MULTIPLE PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS
Olawoyin, Omomayowa (2019-05-01)The purpose of this dissertation is twofold: to deepen our understanding of the complex transmission routes of the Zika virus (ZIKV), and to study multiple pathogen interactions (specifically cocirculation of Zika and ... -
Optimal Control Methods for Chagas Disease
Mastrome, Francis (2018-12-10)Chagas disease is the world's most neglected tropical disease. Having a lack of cure makes the primary focus on the disease preventing it and controlling it. This study takes into account three different control measures: ... -
Reproductive Numbers for Periodic Epidemic Systems
Mitchell, Christopher David (2016-08-09)When using mathematics to study epidemics, often times the goal is to deter- mine when an infection can invade and persist within a population. This can be done in a variety of ways but the most common is to use threshold ...
