The potential impact of an influenza pandemic can be assessed by calculating a set of
transmissibility parameters, the most important being the reproduction number (R), which is …

Background: The extent to which climate change may affect human health by increasing risk
from vector-borne diseases has been under considerable debate. Objectives: We quantified …

Spatial variations in disease patterns of the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic remain poorly
studied. We explored the association between influenza death rates, transmissibility and …

The basic reproduction number and the point of endemic equilibrium are two very important
factors in any deterministic compartmental epidemic model as the basic reproduction …

This article reviews quantitative methods to estimate the basic reproduction number of
pandemic influenza, a key threshold quantity to help determine the intensity of interventions …

We analyze the repercussions of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic on demographic measures,
human capital formation, and productivity markers in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil's financial …

In this paper, a reaction-diffusion COVID-19 model is proposed to explore how vaccination-
isolation strategies affect the development of the epidemic. First, the basic dynamical …

In this paper, a novel COVID-19 reaction–diffusion model with virus mutation and media
coverage is investigated. First, the solution's uniform boundedness for the system is …

Background. Although the mortality burden of the devastating 1918 influenza pandemic has
been carefully quantified in the United States, Japan, and European countries, little is known …

In this paper, we propose an SIRS influenza model with general incidence rate to describe
disease transmission in a heterogenous environment. The basic reproduction number R 0 is …
