Age- and bite-structured models for vector-borne diseases.
The biology and behaviour of biting insects is a vitally important aspect in the spread of vector-borne diseases. This paper aims to determine, through the use of mathematical models, what effect incorporating vector senescence and realistic feeding patterns has on disease. A novel model is developed to enable the effects of age- and bite-structure to be examined in detail. This original PDE fr...
متن کاملSmall Bite, Big Threat: The Burden of Vector-borne Diseases
"Vector-borne disease" is the term commonly used to describe an illness caused by an infectious microbe which is transmitted to people by blood-sucking arthropods and more than half of the global populations are at risk of these infections (1). The disease accounts for 17% of estimated global burden of all infectious diseases. (2). According to the recent estimates, malaria kills more than 600 ...
متن کاملControl and Management of Vector-Borne Diseases in Disaster Conditions
Disasters are a set of unexpected situations that occur as a result of natural misadventure or human manipulations. Depending on the type, time, and location of the events, the insect population causing vector-borne diseases is affected, which may eventually lead to widespread epidemics. Parasitic diseases such as malaria, leishmaniosis, arboviral diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile enceph...
