Pathogen exclusion from eco-epidemiological systems.
Increasing concerns about the changing environment and the emergence of pathogens that cross species boundaries have added to the urgency of understanding the dynamics of complex ecological systems infected by pathogens. Of particular interest is the often counterintuitive way in which infection and predation interact and the consequent difficulties in designing control strategies to manage the...
متن کاملSuccessional dynamics in the seasonally forced diamond food web.
Plankton seasonal succession is a classic example of nonequilibrium community dynamics. Despite the fact that it has been well studied empirically, it lacks a general quantitative theory. Here we investigate a food web model that includes a resource, two phytoplankton, and a shared grazer-the diamond food web-in a seasonal environment. The model produces a number of successional trajectories th...
متن کاملStochastic effects in a seasonally forced epidemic model.
The interplay of seasonality, the system's nonlinearities and intrinsic stochasticity, is studied for a seasonally forced susceptible-exposed-infective-recovered stochastic model. The model is explored in the parameter region that corresponds to childhood infectious diseases such as measles. The power spectrum of the stochastic fluctuations around the attractors of the deterministic system that...
متن کاملPeriodic orbits in a seasonally-forced SEIR epidemic model
Infectious diseases affect millions of people every year. In fact, more than 17 million deaths worldwide each year are attributed to infectious diseases [6]. An endemic disease is a disease which persists over time in a given population or geographic region [4]. For example, prior to the development of the measles vaccine in the 1960’s and eradication of measles from the United States in 2000, ...
متن کاملSeasonally forced disease dynamics explored as switching between attractors
Biological phenomena offer a rich diversity of problems that can be understood using mathematical techniques. Three key features common to many biological systems are temporal forcing, stochasticity and nonlinearity. Here, using simple disease models compared to data, we examine how these three factors interact to produce a range of complicated dynamics. The study of disease dynamics has been a...
