Imperfect Testing of Individuals for Infectious Diseases: Mathematical Model and Analysis
Testing symptomatic individuals for a disease can deliver treatment resources, if tests’ results turn positive, which speeds up their treatment and might also decrease individuals’ contacts to other ones. An imperfect test, however, might incorrectly consider susceptible individuals to be infected (false positives). In this case, testing reduces the epidemic in the expense of potentially miscla...
متن کاملNumerical solution of the spread of infectious diseases mathematical model based on shifted Bernstein polynomials
The Volterra delay integral equations have numerous applications in various branches of science, including biology, ecology, physics and modeling of engineering and natural sciences. In many cases, it is difficult to obtain analytical solutions of these equations. So, numerical methods as an efficient approximation method for solving Volterra delay integral equations are of interest to many res...

متن کاملMathematical modelling of infectious diseases.
INTRODUCTION Mathematical models allow us to extrapolate from current information about the state and progress of an outbreak, to predict the future and, most importantly, to quantify the uncertainty in these predictions. Here, we illustrate these principles in relation to the current H1N1 epidemic. SOURCES OF DATA Many sources of data are used in mathematical modelling, with some forms of mo...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling and Control of Infectious Diseases
Mathematical modeling has become a valuable tool for the analysis of dynamics of infectious disease and for the support of control strategies development in recent years. This work highlights the conceptual ideas and mathematical tools needed for infectious diseases modeling.Themain convergence of this was on the dynamics of infectious diseases, the analysis of transmission patterns in various ...
