Estimating the subcritical transmissibility of the Zika outbreak in the State of Florida, USA, 2016
Florida State has reported autochthonous transmission of Zika virus since late July 2016. Here we assessed the transmissibility associated with the outbreak and generated a short-term forecast. (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

Estimating transmission probability in schools for the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in Italy
Epidemic models are being extensively used to understand the main pathways of spread of infectious diseases, and thus to assess control methods. Schools are well known to represent hot spots for epidemic sprea... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

Feed-forward neural network model for hunger and satiety related VAS score prediction
An artificial neural network approach was chosen to model the outcome of the complex signaling pathways in the gastro-intestinal tract and other peripheral organs that eventually produce the satiety feeling in... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

Application of the backstepping method to the prediction of increase or decrease of infected population
In mathematical epidemiology, age-structured epidemic models have usually been formulated as the boundary-value problems of the partial differential equations. On the other hand, in engineering, the backsteppi... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

Epidemic cycling in a multi-strain SIRS epidemic network model
One common observation in infectious diseases caused by multi-strain pathogens is that both the incidence of all infections and the relative fraction of infection with each strain oscillate with time (i.e., so... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

Modeling immune response and its effect on infectious disease outbreak dynamics
In recent epidemiological models, immunity is incorporated as a simplified value that determines the capacity of an individual to become infected or to transmit the disease. Moreover, the quality of the immune... (Source: Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)
