Infectious diseases are rapidly emerging and many are increasing in incidence across the globe. Processes of land-use change, notably habitat loss and...

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) impact human and animal health globally, and their ecology and transmission are affected by human-caused ecosystem and bi...

A model of the progress of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in a single population of feral pigs, is described. The population was divided into c...

Deterministic models predict that susceptible-infective-susceptible (SIS) disease, where there is no immunity to reinfection following recovery, will ...

Deterministic disease/host models based on differential equations, with and without age-structure, are used to aid understanding of the epidemiology o...

Many infectious pathogens spend a significant portion of their life cycles in the environment or in animal hosts, where ecological interactions with n...

Urban environments are heterogeneous landscapes of social and environmental features, with important consequences for human-nature entanglements, such...

Managing social-ecological systems (SES) requires balancing the need to tailor actions to local heterogeneity and the need to work over large areas to...

A diffusion model was used to calculate the minimum velocity of advance of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in feral pigs (Sus scrofa) in e...

Modified versions of the classic disease/host differential equation models were applied to rates of harvesting, sterilization and vaccination required...
