An influenza epidemic model with dynamic social networks of agents with individual behaviour
(Elsevier Science, 2020-04)
There is an interplay between the spread of infectious disease and the behaviour of individuals that can be<br />modelled through a series of interconnected dynamical feedback blocks. Specifically, the outbreak of an ...
Structure, function and evolution of the animal mitochondrial replicative DNA helicase
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-01-02)
The mitochondrial replicative DNA helicase is essential for animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance. Deleterious mutations in the gene that encodes it cause mitochondrial dysfunction manifested in developmental delays, ...
A fuzzy cellular automata for SIR compartmental models
(2013-12-01)
We propose a representation of the dynamics of epidemics through a compartmental SIR (Susceptible - Infected - Recovered) model, with the combined use of geo-referenced cellular automata and fuzzy systems. In this model, ...
Modeling Parasite Reduction Mechanisms in Chagas Disease
(World Scientific, 2015-08)
Various procedures have been proposed to reduce parasitemia during Chagas disease. Here we analyze in detail models developed to predict the possible outcomes of two of these treatments. The model solutions reproduce ...
Modeling the Dynamics of Viral Evolution Considering Competition Within Individual Hosts and at Population Level: The Effects of Treatment
(SPRINGER, 2010)
We consider two viral strains competing against each other within individual hosts (at cellular level) and at population level (for infecting hosts) by studying two cases. In the first case, the strains do not mutate into ...
Nonlinear time-series forecasts for decision support: short-termdemand for ICU beds in Santiago, Chile, during the 2021COVID-19 pandemic
(2022)
In Chile, due to the explosive increase of new Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases during the first part of 2021, the ability of health services to accommodate new incoming cases was jeopardized. It has become necessary ...
Modelling the lethargic crab disease.
(2009-01-01)
The lethargic crab disease (LCD) is an emergent infirmity that has decimated native populations of the mangrove land crab (Ucides cordatus, Decapoda: Ocypodidae) along the Brazilian coast. Several potential etiological ...
