This timely book covers the basic concepts of the dynamics of epidemic disease, presenting
various kinds of models as well as typical research methods and results. It introduces the …

Infectious pathogens compete and are subject to natural selection at multiple levels. For
example, viral strains compete for access to host resources within an infected host and, at …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the microorganism's resistance to an antimicrobial drug
developed and designed to handle an infection. A recent study showed that there were 1.27 …

In this paper, we establish a Hopf bifurcation theorem for abstract Cauchy problems in which
the linear operator is not densely defined and is not a Hille–Yosida operator. The theorem is …

This paper investigates the global stability of a viral infection model with lytic and nonlytic
immune responses. If the basic reproductive ratio of the virus is less than or equal to one, by …

The vaccination period (ie, the time period retaining acquired immunity following
vaccination) and the latent period are two important factors affecting disease dynamics …

In this article we studied an epidemic model consisting of two strains with different types of
incidence rates; bilinear and non-monotone. The model consists of four equilibrium points …

In this paper, an SEIV epidemic model with vaccination and nonlinear incidence rate is
formulated. The analysis of the model is presented in terms of the basic reproduction …

In the situation of inadequate vaccines and rapid mutation of virulent strains, alternative
health interventions play a crucial role in the containment of emerging epidemics. This study …

In this paper we consider a non-autonomous multi-strain SIS epidemic model with periodic
coefficients. Reproduction numbers and invasion reproduction numbers are derived which …
