Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, V8W 3R4, Canada
J Math Biol 66:75-94. 2013..This model illustrates how households (clusters) can affect disease dynamics in a complicated way... - Global dynamics of cholera models with differential infectivityZhisheng Shuai
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 3R4
Math Biosci 234:118-26. 2011..When input and death are neglected, the model is used to determine a final size equation or inequality, and simulations illustrate how assumptions on cholera transmission affect the final size of an epidemic... - Periodicity in piecewise-linear switching networks with delayR Edwards
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria, BC, Canada
J Math Biol 55:271-98. 2007..This behavior is in contrast to the non-delayed case, in which spiralling approach to fixed points on threshold boundaries can occur... - Impact of heterogeneity on the dynamics of an SEIR epidemic modelZhisheng Shuai
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria, Victoria, B C, Canada
Math Biosci Eng 9:393-411. 2012..If R0 > 1, then the disease persists in all groups or stages, and the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable... - Control design for sustained oscillation in a two-gene regulatory networkRoderick Edwards
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria, PO Box 3060, STN CSC, Victoria, BC, Canada
J Math Biol 62:453-78. 2011..As an example, we apply our analysis to a model of the carbon response network in Escherichia coli, reduced to the two genes that are essential in understanding its behavior... - Implication of Ariaal sexual mixing on gonorrheaC Connell McCluskey
