Chapter 1Infectious Diseases and Our Planet

Teboh-Ewungkem, Miranda I.; Ngwa, Gideon A.

Pages: 1 –13

[Our Planet is very rich and diverse with plants and animals co-existing and interacting among themselves, with each other and with other organisms. This co-existence occurs in an environment that allows for such. While such interactions may not benefit some animals, they have served as vital...

Chapter 2The Effect of Demographic Variability and Periodic Fluctuations on Disease Outbreaks in a Vector–Host Epidemic Model

Nipa, Kaniz Fatema; Allen, Linda J. S.

Pages: 15 –35

[Seasonality and contact patterns affect the dynamics of disease outbreaks. Recent studies applied to deterministic and stochastic epidemic models with periodic environments have shown that the average basic reproduction number is not sufficient to predict an outbreak. We extend these studies to...

Chapter 3Evidence for Multiple Transmission Routes for Pseudorabies in Wild Hogs

Levy, Benjamin; Lenhart, Suzanne; Collins, Charles; Stiver, William

Pages: 37 –56

[Pseudorabies is a herpes viral infection that constantly threatens the commercial pig industry as it decreases birthrates and increases piglet mortality. While transmission routes in domestic pigs are known, disease dynamics in the reservoir of wild hog populations is not well understood. We...

Chapter 4Application of Mathematical Epidemiology to Crop Vector-Borne Diseases: The Cassava Mosaic Virus Disease Case

Chapwanya, Michael; Dumont, Yves

Pages: 57 –95

[In this chapter, an application of Mathematical Epidemiology to crop vector-borne diseases is presented to investigate the interactions between crops, vectors, and virus. The main illustrative example is the cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The CMD virus has two routes of infection: through vectors...

Chapter 5A Multistage Mosquito-Centred Mathematical Model for Malaria Dynamics that Captures Mosquito Gonotrophic Cycle Contributions to Its Population Abundance and Malaria Transmission

Teboh-Ewungkem, Miranda I.; Ngwa, Gideon A.; Fomboh-Nforba, Mary Y.

Pages: 97 –148

[A mathematical model for malaria transmission dynamics involving variable mosquito populations is developed and analysed. The model, which comprises a system of nonlinear deterministic ordinary differential equations, takes into consideration the vital and realistic life style characteristics of...

Chapter 6Charles Darwin Meets Ronald Ross: A Population-Genetic Framework for the Evolutionary Dynamics of Malaria

Schneider, Kristan A.

Pages: 149 –191

[Malaria is a resilient disease characterized by complex life histories of the pathogen and the vector, and still is a major threat to global development. We introduce a population-genetic framework for the evolutionary processes, exemplified but not restricted to anti-malarial drug resistance,...

Chapter 7Identifying the Dominant Transmission Pathway in a Multi-stage Infection Model of the Emerging Fungal Pathogen Batrachochytrium Salamandrivorans on the Eastern Newt

Islam, Md Rafiul; Gray, Matthew J.; Peace, Angela

Pages: 193 –216

[Epidemic dynamics of infectious diseases with multiple routes of transmission are complex. Mathematical models can be used to determine invasion potential and identify which transmission pathway is dominant and can ultimately help identify appropriate intervention strategies. We developed...

Chapter 8Reducing the Global HIV Burden: The Importance of Uneven Exposure to the Results of HIV Prevention Trials

Moore, Mia; Boily, Marie-Claude; Donnell, Deborah J.; Dimitrov, Dobromir

Pages: 217 –239

[Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of biomedical interventions for HIV prevention are often designed assuming uniform levels of HIV risk. We employ mathematical models to simulate RCTs testing HIV prevention products among populations with different level of nonuniform HIV exposure between...

Chapter 9Dynamic Regulation of T Cell Activation by Coupled Feedforward Loops

Buri, Gershom; Zelleke, Girma Mesfin; Ndifon, Wilfred

Pages: 241 –255

[The adaptive immune system responds to threats by activating T cells. However, this response is perilous if T cells are activated by the wrong signal or longer than necessary. It is therefore important that T cells get activated only by the right kind of signals and for the right duration. The...

Chapter 10Modeling Ebola Transmission Dynamics with Media Effects on Disease and Isolation Rates

Oduniyi, Erick; Gibbons, Brad; Oh, Myunghyun; Agusto, Folashade B.

Pages: 257 –279

[In this study, we developed a deterministic model for Ebola virus disease. The model uniquely incorporates isolated and non-isolated individuals as well as sexually-infectious individuals. The model is locally asymptotically stable when the reproduction is less than one. We carried out a local...
