Effects of quarantine in six endemic models for infectious diseasesHerbert Hethcote
Department of Mathematics, University of Iowa, 14 MacLean Hall, Iowa City, IA 52242 1419, USA
Math Biosci 180:141-60. 2002..The Hopf bifurcation surface and stable periodic solutions are found numerically...
A predator-prey model with infected preyHerbert W Hethcote
Department of Mathematics, University of Iowa, 14 MacLean Hall, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA
Theor Popul Biol 66:259-68. 2004..Also the predation on the more vulnerable prey can cause the disease to die out, when it would remain endemic without the predators...
Species coexistence and periodicity in host-host-pathogen modelsHerbert W Hethcote
Department of Mathematics, University of Iowa, 14 MacLean Hall, Iowa City, 52242, USA
J Math Biol 51:629-60. 2005..The results given here reinforce previous examples in which there are major differences in behavior between models using mass-action and frequency-dependent incidences...
Using computer simulations to compare pertussis vaccination strategies in AustraliaHerbert W Hethcote
Department of Mathematics, University of Iowa, 14 MacLean Hall, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA
Vaccine 22:2181-91. 2004....
Competing species models with an infectious diseaseRoberto A Saenz
Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences, University of Iowa, 14 MacLean Hall, Iowa City, IA 52242
Math Biosci Eng 3:219-35. 2006..Models of SIR and SIRS type are also considered. A key result in all of these models with the frequency-dependent incidence is that the disease must either die out in both species or remain endemic in both species...
Adolescent and adult pertussis vaccination: computer simulations of five new strategiesAnnelies Van Rie
Department of Epidemiology, University of North Carolina, 2104F McGavran Greenberg Hall, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7435, USA
Vaccine 22:3154-65. 2004....
Confined animal feeding operations as amplifiers of influenzaRoberto A Saenz
Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 6:338-46. 2006..A human influenza epidemic due to a new virus could be locally amplified by the presence of confined animal feeding operations in the community. Thus vaccination of CAFO workers would be an effective use of a pandemic vaccine...
