Dear GMS,
I hope you all had a productive reading week. If you didn't, don't worry: here is a picture to make your day better.
You are welcome.
We will have a seminar on 19th of November, Wednesday in 123 St. Paul's between
12:30 and 13:30. Our speaker is
@Solomon Mensah. The details about his talk are below.
Title: A single patch and Climate-Based Metapopulation Malaria Model with Human Travel and Treatment
Abstract: In this talk, we present single-patch and metapopulation models for malaria transmission that incorporate human movement between regions with varying climatic conditions, the use of effective and counterfeit treatments, and time-periodic
parameters for mosquito dynamics. We develop an algorithm to compute the threshold condition $R_0$ for epidemiological systems derived from compartmental deterministic models. The analysis shows that when $R_0<1$, the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) is locally
asymptotically stable, while $R_0>1$ leads to instability of the DFE. Under additional reasonable assumptions, we establish conditions under which the DFE is globally asymptotically stable, showing that, in many cases, this occurs precisely when $R_0≤1$.
The seminar can also be accessed from Zoom:
