A Model for Assessing the Quantitative Effects of Heterogeneous Affinity in Malaria Transmission along with Ivermectin Mass Administration
Sequeira, Joao; Louca, Jorge; Mendes, Antonio; Lind, Pedro (Applied Sciences;Volume 10 / Issue 23, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-04)Using an agent-based model of malaria, we present numerical evidence that in communities of individuals having an affinity varying within a broad range of values, disease transmission may increase up to 300%. Moreover, our ... -
Transition from endemic behavior to eradication of malaria due to combined drug therapies: an agent-model approach
Sequeira, Joao; Louca, Jorge; Mendes, Antonio; Lind, Pedro (Journal of Theoretical Biology;Volume 484, 7 January 2020, 110030, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-26)We introduce an agent-based model describing a susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) system of humans and mosquitoes to predict malaria epidemiological scenarios in realistic biological conditions. Emphasis is given to ... -
Using the Hurst Exponent and Entropy Measures to Predict Effective Transmissibility in Empirical Series of Malaria Incidence
Sequeira, Joao; Louca, Jorge; Mendes, Antonio; Lind, Pedro (Applied Sciences;Volume 12 / Issue 1, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-05)We analyze the empirical series of malaria incidence, using the concepts of autocorrelation, Hurst exponent and Shannon entropy with the aim of uncovering hidden variables in those series. From the simulations of an agent ...
