Malaria, one of the greatest historical killers of mankind, continues to claim around half a
million lives annually, with almost all deaths occurring in children under the age of five living …

With the recent resurgence of vector-borne diseases due to urbanization and development
there is an urgent need to understand the dynamics of vector-borne diseases in rapidly …

Vector-borne epidemics are progressively becoming a global burden, especially those
related to flaviviruses, and the effects of different factors such as climate change or the …

In this paper, we propose a multipatch model to study the effects of population dispersal on
the spatial spread of malaria between patches. The basic reproduction number R_0 is …

We show that the basic reproduction number of an SIS patch model with standard incidence
is either strictly decreasing and strictly convex with respect to the diffusion coefficient of …

The Ross-Macdonald model has exerted enormous influence over the study of malaria
transmission dynamics and control, but it lacked features to describe parasite dispersal …

Mosquito-borne diseases are a global health priority disproportionately affecting low-income
populations in tropical and sub-tropical countries. These pathogens live in mosquitoes and …

A multi-patch and multi-group modeling framework describing the dynamics of a class of
diseases driven by the interactions between vectors and hosts structured by groups is …

Vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and so forth are
some of the most prominent threats to human health. They are transmitted to the human …

Background Malaria is highly sensitive to climatic variables and is strongly influenced by the
presence of vectors in a region that further contribute to parasite development and sustained …
