The Basic Reproduction Number in a Multi-city Compartmental Epidemic Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A directed graph with cities as vertices and arcs determined by outgoing (or return) travel represents the mobility component in a population of individuals who travel between n cities. A model with 4 epidemiological compartments in each city that describes the propagation of a disease in this population is formulated as a system of 4n ordinary differential equations. Terms in the system account for disease transmission, latency, recovery, temporary immunity, birth, death, and travel between cities. The basic reproduction number R0 is determined as the spectral radius of a nonnegative matrix product, and easily computable bounds on R0 are obtained.

Mathematical Model for Transmission Dynamics of Hepatitus C Virus with Optimal Control Strategies
An epidemic model with optimal control strategies was investigated for Hepatitus C Viral disease that can be transmitted through infected individuals. In this study, we used a deterministic compartmental model for assessing the effect of different optimal control strategies for controlling the spread of Hepatitus C disease in the community. Stability theory of differential equations is us...
متن کاملEdge-based compartmental modelling of an SIR epidemic on a dual-layer static-dynamic multiplex network with tunable clustering
The duration, type and structure of connections between individuals in real-world populations play a crucial role in how diseases invade and spread. Here, we incorporate the aforementioned heterogeneities into a model by considering a dual-layer static-dynamic multiplex network. The static network layer affords tunable clustering and describes an individual’s permanent community structure. The ...
متن کاملEffect of Quarantine & Vaccination on Infectious Nodes in Computer Network
A compartmental epidemic model of viruses in a computer network with vaccination and natural death is formulated. A strong impact of vaccination in the computer network reduces rapidly the spreading behavior of worms and Quarantine plays an important role in the recovery of the infectious nodes. The stability of the result is stated in terms of the Jacobian of the system and the basic reproduct...
متن کاملMathematical modeling, analysis and simulation of Ebola epidemics
Mathematical models are the most important tools in epidemiology to understand previous outbreaks of diseases and to better understand the dynamics of how infections spread through populations. Many existing models closely approximate historical disease patterns. This article investigates the mathematical model of the deadly disease with severe and uncontrollable bleeding, Ebola which is...
متن کاملA model for influenza with vaccination and antiviral treatment.
Compartmental models for influenza that include control by vaccination and antiviral treatment are formulated. Analytic expressions for the basic reproduction number, control reproduction number and the final size of the epidemic are derived for this general class of disease transmission models. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses of the dependence of the control reproduction number on the par...
