Climate-based descriptive models of dengue fever: The 2002 epidemic in Colima, Mexico
(2006-06)Dengue is a public health problem on the rise in many tropical regions and affects approximately 100 million people every year worldwide. In this paper, the authors retrospectively assess the association between five ... -
Climate-Driven Statistical Models as Effective Predictors of Local Dengue Incidence in Costa Rica: A Generalized Additive Model and Random Forest Approach
(2019-12)Climate has been an important factor in shaping the distribution and incidence of dengue cases in tropical and subtropical countries. In CostaRica, a tropical country with distinctive micro-climates, dengue has been endemic ... -
Comparative analysis of dengue versus chikungunya outbreaks in Costa Rica
(2018-06)For decades, dengue virus has been a cause of major public health concern in Costa Rica, due to its landscape and climatic conditions that favor the circumstances in which the vector, Aedes aegypti, thrives. The emergence ... -
Dengue model with early-life stage of vectors and age-structure within host
(2019-12)We construct an epidemic model for the transmission of dengue fever with an early-life stage in the vector dynamics and age-structure within hosts. The early-life stage of the vector is modeled via a general function that ... -
Vertical Transmission in a Two-Strain Model of Dengue Fever
(2014)The role of vertical transmission in vectors has rarely been addressed in the study of dengue dynamics and control, in part because it was not considered a critical population-level factor. In this paper, we apply the ...
