Analysis, simulation and optimal control of a SEIR model for Ebola virus with demographic effects

Ebola virus is one of the most virulent pathogens for humans. We present a mathematical description of different Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious– Recovered (SEIR) models. By using mathematical modeling and analysis, the latest major outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa is described. Our aim is to study and discuss the properties of SEIR models with respect to Ebola virus, the information they ...

ISCB Ebola Award for Important Future Research on the Computational Biology of Ebola Virus

Speed is of the essence in combating Ebola; thus, computational approaches should form a significant component of Ebola research. As for the development of any modern drug, computational biology is uniquely positioned to contribute through comparative analysis of the genome sequences of Ebola strains as well as 3-D protein modeling. Other computational approaches to Ebola may include large-scal...
