Statistical modeling and analysis of partially observed infectious diseases
This thesis is concerned with the development of Bayesian inference approach for the analysis of infectious disease models. Stochastic SIS household-based epidemic models were considered with individuals allowed to be contracted locally at a given rate and there also exists a global force of …

Stochastic and Renewal Methods Applied to Epidemic Models
The thesis is made up of three chapters, which analyse the disease spreads within the population in three different settings. The first chapter analyses the effects of the adaptive vaccination strategy on the infectious disease dynamics in a closed population and a demographically open population. …

Analyzing Cholera Dynamics in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Environments
… countries and the global increase in the number of reported outbreaks suggests that activities to control the diseases and surveillance programs to identify or predict the occurrence of the next outbreaks are not adequate. Mathematical models play a critical role in predicting and understanding …

Epidemiological Models For Mutating Pathogens With Temporary Immunity
… scenarios for disease transmissions and behavior of epidemics in recent years. A considerable amount of work has been done in modeling the dynamics of diseases by systems of ordinary differential equations. But there are very few mathematical models that deal with the genetic mutations of a …

The impact of vaccination on adenocarcinoma associated with non-vaccine type HPV : a mathematical model with two HPV types
The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer in women and HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection. To prevent women from developing cervical cancer there are two methods in use, the primary method being vaccination against HPV and the secondary being screening. …

Modelling Hepatitis C virus infection and treatment impact through serological surveillance data
… drugs (PWID), who account for the majority of new and existing infections. Despite the availability of highly effective direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapies and a national commitment to elimination, transmission continues in key populations. Monitoring progress toward elimination requires …

Modelling HIV/AIDS epidemic in Nigeria
Nigeria is one of the countries most affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, third only to India and South Africa. With about 10% of the global HIV/AIDS cases estimated to be in the country, the public health and socio-economic implications are enormous. This thesis has two broad aims: the first is to …
