Using age of infection models to derive an explicit expression for Ro
Using a multiple stage age of infection model, we derive an expression for the basic reproduction number, Ro. We apply this method to find Ro in analogous treatment models. We find, in the model without treatment, Ro depends only on the mean infective period, and not on the infective distribution. …

Multiscale Modelling of Hepatic Viral Infection
The multiscale modelling of hepatic viral infection was introduced in this work and various approaches were carried out to contribute effectively to the control and eradication of viral hepatitis in sub-saharan Africa. A nested multiscale model was developed by applying the Replication-Transmission …

An Epidemic Model Structured By The Time Since Last Infection
… models structured by time since infection have their origin in the seminal work of 1927 by Kermack and McKendrick. Compared to ordinary differential equations (ODE) models, they are able to capture differences in infectivity of the individuals in a more suitable manner. Their use …
