Effects of education, vaccination and treatment on HIV transmission in homosexuals with genetic heterogeneity
Kribs, Christopher; Del Valle, Sara; Morales Evangelista, Arlene; Velasco, Maria Cristina; Hsu Schmitz, Shu-Fang (Department of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2004)Genetic studies report the existence of a mutant allele Δ32 of CC R5 chemokine receptor gene at high allele frequencies ( 10%) in Caucasian populations. The presence of the allele is believed to provide partial or full ... -
Modeling nosocomial transmission of rotavirus in pediatric wards
Kribs, Christopher; Jusot, Jean-Francois; Vanhems, Philippe; Charles, Sandrine (Springer-VerlagDepartment of Mathematics and Curriculum & Instruction, University of Texas at Arlington, 2011)Nosocomial transmission of viral and bacterial infections is a major problem worldwide, affecting millions of patients (and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths) per year. Rotavirus infections affect most children ... -
A simple vaccination model with multiple endemic states
Kribs, Christopher; Velasco-Hernandez, Jorge X. (ElsevierDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2000)A simple two-dimensional SIS model with vaccination exhibits a backward bifurcation for some parameter values. A two-population version of the model leads to the consideration of vaccination policies in paired border towns. ... -
Vaccination strategies and backward bifurcation in age-since-infection structured model
Kribs, Christopher; Martcheva, Maia (ElsevierDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2002)We consider models for a disease with acute and chronic infective stages, and variable infectivity and recovery rates, within the context of a vaccination campaign. Models for SIRS and SIS disease cycles exhibit backward ... -
Vector consumption and contact process saturation in sylvatic transmission of T. cruzi
Kribs, Christopher (Taylor & FrancisDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington; Universidad de Colima, Mexico, 2006)Recent research in the transmission of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, some strains of which cause Chagas’ disease, suggests that consumption of vectors by sylvatic hosts such as raccoons may play a role in ...
