Understanding the Influence of Banded Mongoose (Mungos mungo) Social Structuring on Disease Transmission Using Molecular Tools
Understanding the disease transmission dynamics in wildlife species can be difficult and can prove more complicated if the population structure of a socially living species is shaped by territoriality. Understanding the connections and movements of individuals between groups is vital to documenting …

Theoretical epidemiology analysis of Plague, Polio, and Covid-19 outbreak
<p>Infectious diseases have been a persistent challenge to global health throughout history, and they continue to pose a significant threat in the present day. With the emergence of new diseases and the reemergence of existing ones, understanding the transmission dynamics, and developing effective …

Study of Behaviour Change and Impact on Infectious Disease Dynamics by Mathematical Models
… human behaviour changes' effects on infectious disease transmission dynamics. It centers on two main topics. The first concerns how behaviour response evolves during epidemics and the effects of adaptive precaution behaviour on epidemics. The second topic is how to build general framework models …

Investigating the Effectiveness of Supermarket Transmission Control Measures on the Spread of COVID-19 in the Presence of Super-Spreaders through Agent-Based Modelling
An examination of the effectiveness of transmission control measures for COVID-19 in a supermarket setting, factoring for the inclusion of Super-Spreaders, must extend beyond the direct effects the control measure has on transmission in order to account for the indirect effects changes in human …

Strategies for Effective Mitigation of Infectious Diseases, with Focus on COVID-19
… approach to designing and optimizing infectious disease mitigation strategies, with a focus on COVID-19 and closed communities like college campuses. By integrating vaccination and routine screening, we first develop a model to evaluate the efficacy of various strategies in reducing infections, …

Optimizing pandemic testing policies and implications for future health crisis interventions: Lessons from educational institutions and community engagement
… in safely reopening while mitigating the risk of disease transmission. This dissertation presents an examination of strategies aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19 within education institutions, especially K-12 schools, and lessons we can use for future health interventions, as well as how …

Spatial Infectious Disease Transmission Models: Variable Screening Methods and Logistic Formulation.
Infectious disease outbreaks have widespread consequences, affecting not only health, economies, and agriculture, but also global trade, social structures, and education (Rohr et al., 2019; Vurro et al., 2010; Anderson, 2002). Advanced mathematical models of infectious diseases, particularly …
