Competitive Exclusion in a Discrete Stage-Structured Two Species Model
We develop a stage-structured model that describes the dynamics of two competing species each of which have sexual and clonal reproduction. This is typical of many plants including irises. We first analyze the dynamical behavior of a single species model. We show that when the inherent net reproductive number is smaller than one then the population will go to extinction and if it is larger than...
متن کاملCompetitive Exclusion in a Discrete-time, Size-structured Chemostat Model
Competitive exclusion is proved for a discrete-time, size-structured, nonlinear matrix model of m-species competition in the chemostat. The winner is the population able to grow at the lowest nutrient concentration. This extends the results of earlier work of the first author [11] where the case m = 2 was treated.
متن کاملAn Age-Structured Model for Pneumococcal Infection with Vaccination
Pneumococcal diseases, or infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, primarily affecting the young and the old. The development of an effective vaccine against these infections, especially the younger ages, has not been successful despite the licensing of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7). The design of vaccines that induce imm...
متن کاملAn age-structured two-strain epidemic model with super-infection.
This article focuses on the study of an age-structured two-strain model with super-infection. The explicit expression of basic reproduction numbers and the invasion reproduction numbers corresponding to strain one and strain two are obtained. It is shown that the infection-free steady state is globally stable if the basic reproductive number R(0) is below one. Existence of strain one and strain...
متن کاملTuberculosis in Cape Town: An age-structured transmission model.
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death in South Africa. The burden of disease varies by age, with peaks in TB notification rates in the HIV-negative population at ages 0-5, 20-24, and 45-49 years. There is little variation between age groups in the rates in the HIV-positive population. The drivers of this age pattern remain unknown. METHODS We developed an age-structured s...
