Application of Lie group analysis to a core group model for sexually transmitted diseases
Lie group analysis is applied to a core group model for sexually transmitted disease formulated by Hadeler and Castillo-Chavez [Hadeler K P and Castillo-Chavez C, A core group model for disease transmission, Math. Biosci. 128 (1995), 41–55]. Several instances of integrability even linearity are found which lead to the general solution of the model. A discussion of such solutions is presented an...
متن کاملCore group approach to identify college students at risk for sexually transmitted infections.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the core group for sexually transmitted infections (STI) among college students. METHODS Cross-sectional study carried out in a convenience sample comprising 711 college students of the public university of Morelos, Mexico, between 2001 and 2003. Sociodemographic and sexual behavior information were collected using self-applied questionnaires. Herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2) inf...
متن کاملParents of infants with ophthalmia neonatorum: a high-risk group for sexually transmitted diseases.
One hundred forty-nine mothers and 74 fathers of infants who presented at the Special Treatment Clinic (Nairobi) with ophthalmia neonatorum were evaluated. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was isolated from 60 (40%) of 149 mothers and Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 31 (21%). Twenty-six mothers (17.5%) had clinical evidence of endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease. Mothers with endometritis ...
متن کاملApplication of Lie group analysis to functional differential equations
In the present paper the classical point symmetry analysis is extended from partial differential to functional differential equations with functional derivatives. In order to perform the group analysis and deal with the functional derivatives we extend the quantities such as infinitesimal transformations, prolongations and invariant solutions. For the sake of example the procedure is applied to...
متن کاملOn a Graph-Based Model for Simulating Sexually Transmitted Diseases
The objective of this study is to develop a complex graph-based model and determine how epidemics of sexually transmitted infections play out on it. We constructed the graph, wherein node-degrees follow a power-law distribution, the partnership durations and formation patterns follow Weibull and uniform distributions respectively. The working of epidemics on this graph is investigated by simula...
