Symmetry in a multi-strain epidemiological model with distributed delay as a general cross-protection period and disease enhancement factor
Steindorf, V.
; Oliva, S.; Stollenwerk, N.; Aguiar, M. (2024-01)
Important biological features of viral infectious diseases caused by multiple agents with interacting strain dynamics continue to pose challenges for mathematical modelling development. Motivated by dengue fever epidemiology, ...

Modeling secondary infections with temporary immunity and disease enhancement factor: Mechanisms for complex dynamics in simple epidemiological models
Steindorf, V.; Srivastav, A. K.; Stollenwerk, N.; Kooi, B. W.; Aguiar, M. (2022-10-04)
Modeling insights for epidemiological scenarios characterized by chaotic dynamics have been largely unexplored. A rigorous analysis of such systems are essential for a real predictive power and a more accurate disease ...

Cross immunity protection and antibody-dependent enhancement in a distributed delay dynamic model
Steindorf, V.; Oliva, S.; Wu, J. (2022-01-01)
Dengue fever is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries, and certain important features of the spread of dengue fever continue to pose challenges for mathematical modelling. Here we propose a system of integro-differential ...
