Periodicity of dengue

Periodicity and Almost-periodicity

Landing periodicity of Aedes aegypti with implications for dengue transmission in Trinidad, West Indies.

The diel landing/biting periodicity of the Trinidad strain of Aedes aegypti (L.) was monitored using human-bait during January-August 1999. Hourly light intensities were measured both indoors and outdoors at both urban and rural sites. The periodicity of females was diurnal and nocturnal, with 90% arriving during daylight and twilight and 10% during the night. The pattern of landing was trimoda...

Dengue Dynamics in Binh Thuan Province, Southern Vietnam: Periodicity, Synchronicity and Climate Variability

BACKGROUND Dengue is a major global public health problem with increasing incidence and geographic spread. The epidemiology is complex with long inter-epidemic intervals and endemic with seasonal fluctuations. This study was initiated to investigate dengue transmission dynamics in Binh Thuan province, southern Vietnam. METHODOLOGY Wavelet analyses were performed on time series of monthly noti...

Poincaré Duality and Periodicity, Ii. James Periodicity

Let K be a connected finite complex. This paper studies the problem of whether one can attach a cell to some iterated suspension ΣK so that the resulting space satisfies Poincaré duality. When this is possible, we say that ΣK is a spine. We introduce the notion of quadratic self duality and show that if K is quadratically self dual, then ΣK is a spine whenever j is a suitable power of two. The ...

Periodicity in a System of Differential Equations with Finite Delay

The existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution of the system of differential equations d dt x(t) = A(t)x(t − ) are proved. In particular the Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem and the contraction mapping principle are used in the analysis. In addition, the notion of fundamental matrix solution coupled with Floquet theory is also employed.
