Math Biosci Eng 9:461-85. 2012..Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to explore the effect of disease on two-species competition, to illustrate some of the analytical results and to highlight some of the differences in the stochastic and deterministic models...- The dynamics of two viral infections in a single host population with applications to hantavirusLinda J S Allen
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409 1042, USA
Math Biosci 186:191-217. 2003..It is shown through analysis and numerical simulations that both diseases can be maintained within a single host population, where individuals can be either infected with both viruses or with a single virus... - A comparison of three different stochastic population models with regard to persistence timeLinda J S Allen

Theor Popul Biol 64:439-49. 2003..Computational results demonstrate how dramatically the mean persistence time can vary for different populations that experience the same logistic growth... - A habitat-based model for the spread of hantavirus between reservoir and spillover speciesLinda J S Allen
Texas Tech University, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Lubbock, TX 79409, USA
J Theor Biol 260:510-22. 2009..Environmental changes that result in greater habitat overlap result in more encounters among various species that may lead to pathogen outbreaks and pathogen establishment in a new host... - Disease emergence in multi-host epidemic modelsRobert K McCormack
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409 1042, USA
Math Med Biol 24:17-34. 2007..Numerical examples illustrate the dynamics of the two- and three-host epidemic models. The models have applications to hantavirus in rodents and other zoonotic diseases with multiple hosts... - Mathematical models for hantavirus infection in rodentsLinda J S Allen

Bull Math Biol 68:511-24. 2006..These new models capture some of the realistic dynamics of the male/female rodent hantavirus interaction: higher seroprevalence in males and variability in seroprevalence levels... - Genetic models for plant pathosystemsJacob C Kesinger
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, P O Box 41042, Lubbock, TX 79409 1042, USA
Math Biosci 177:247-69. 2002..The original model of Leonard has this same property. However, with random selection values, solutions tend to converge toward the polymorphic equilibrium... - Stochastic epidemic models with a backward bifurcationLinda J S Allen
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409 1042
Math Biosci Eng 3:445-58. 2006..For population sizes N=/>1000, the deterministic and stochastic models agree, but for small population sizes the stochastic models indicate that the backward bifurcation may have little effect on the disease dynamics... - Stochastic models for virus and immune system dynamicsYuan Yuan
Department of Mathematics, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409, USA
Math Biosci 234:84-94. 2011..It is shown that the probability of a successful invasion depends on the initial viral dose, whether the immune system is activated, and whether the release strategy is bursting or budding... - Models for an arenavirus infection in a rodent population: consequences of horizontal, vertical and sexual transmissionChandrani Banerjee
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409 1042, USA
Math Biosci Eng 5:617-45. 2008..Numerical examples illustrate the dynamics of the models. The biological implications of the results and future research goals are discussed in the conclusion... - Stochastic model of an influenza epidemic with drug resistanceYaji Xu

J Theor Biol 248:179-93. 2007..Given an outbreak occurs, the total number of cases for the CTMC model is in good agreement with the ODE model. The greatest number of drug resistant cases occurs if treatment is delayed or if only symptomatic individuals are treated... - A comparison of persistence-time estimation for discrete and continuous stochastic population models that include demographic and environmental variabilityEdward J Allen
