    • An Antibiotic Protocol To Minimize Emergence Of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis 

      de Espindola, Aquino L.; Girardi, Daniel; Penna, T. J. P.; Bauch, Chris T.; Troca Cabella, Brenno C.; Martinez, Alexandre Souto (Elsevier, 2014-04-15)
      A within-host model of the spread of tuberculosis is proposed here where the emergence of drug resistance and bacterial dormancy are simultaneously combined. We consider both sensitive and resistant strains of tuberculosis ...
    • Challenges in epidemiological modelling: from socio-virulence dynamics to HIV interventions in MSM populations. 

      Pharaon, Joe (University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)
      The spread of infectious diseases is one of the biggest challenges that public health faces nowadays. Their control is often not an easy task. Social behaviour plays an important role in disease prevention. However, the ...
    • Coevolution Of Risk Perception, Sexual Behaviour, And Hiv Transmission In An Agent-Based Model 

      Tully, Stephen; Cojocaru, Monica; Bauch, Chris T. (Elsevier, 2013-11-21)
      Risk perception shapes individual behaviour, and is in turn shaped by the consequences of that behaviour. Here we explore this dynamics in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spread. We construct a simplified ...
    • Early Warning Signals of Vaccine Scares. 

      Pananos, A. Demetri (University of Waterloo, 2016-09-26)
      There exists strong evidence that vaccines are extremely effective in the prevention of pediatric infectious disease, yet despite this evidence, vaccine refusal is still popular amongst some parents. Existing mathematical ...
    • The Impact Of Aggregating Serogroups In Dynamic Models Of Neisseria Meningitidis Transmission 

      Poore, Keith D.; Bauch, Chris T. (BioMed Central, 2015-07-30)
      Background: Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) is a pathogen of multiple serogroups that is highly prevalent in many populations. Serogroups associated with invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Canada, for example, include A, ...
    • Sparse Identification of Epidemiological Models from Empirical Data 

      Horrocks, Jonathan H. (University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)
      Current modelling practices in mathematical epidemiology are predicated on mechanisms stemming from theoretical assumptions, such as mass action incidence. Deterministic disease models can describe many patterns observed ...
    • Statistical Physics Of Vaccination 

      Wang, Zhen; Bauch, Chris T.; Bhattacharyya, Samit; d'Onofrio, Alberto; Manfredi, Piero; Perc, Matjaz; Perra, Nicola; Salathe, Marcel; Zhao, Dawei (Elsevier, 2016-12-09)
      Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease transmission have been studied to help understand ...
