An Epidemic Model Structured By The Time Since Last Infection
<p>Epidemiological 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 …

A discrete-time waning immunity model for the spread of an immune escape pathogen
… large amplitudes of damped oscillations in infections. The classic Susceptible-Infectious-Immune-Susceptible (SIRS) model is a waning immunity model but is unable to generate rapid high amplitude oscillations. The oscillatory dynamics generated by SIRS-like models are often boosted by …

Investigating synergy: Mathematical models for the coupled dynamics of HIV and HSV-2 and other endemic diseases
… ^ Mounting evidence indicates that HSV-2 infection may increase susceptibility to HIV infection and that co-infection may increase infectiousness. Accordingly, antiviral treatment of people with HSV-2 may mitigate the incidence of HIV in populations where both pathogens occur. To better …
