In the context of generic infectious disease studies, the aim of this paper is to quantify and represent the individual social responsibility based on whether or not a single individual is vaccinated. Although the objective ...

Background: Organophosphate (OP) pesticides can be hazardous to human health if not applied with appropriate precautions. There is evidence in the Maule region of Chile that rural schoolchildren are exposed to OP ...

In this paper we develop an SIRS compartmental model to investigate the dynamic interplay between pesticide intoxication and the spread of infectious-contagious respiratory diseases. We are particularly interested in ...

Background: Several studies showed that early exposure to pesticides affects the development and health of children. In Maule, there is previous evidence of the high exposure to organophosphate pesticides (OP) of schoolchildren. ...

Mediante un modelo matemático este trabajo explora la problemática de la disponibilidad versus sobredemanda de procesos críticos hospitalarias (por ejemplo, camas críticas) ante una fuerte expansión epidémica como la que ...

In this paper, we develop and analyze an SIS-type epidemiological-mathematical model of the interaction between pesticide use and infectious respiratory disease transmission for investigating the impact of pesticide ...

Background: Multiple epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to pesticides is associated with adverse health outcomes. However, the literature on pesticide-related health effects in the Latin American and the ...

Human interactions and perceptions about health risk are essential to understand the evolution over the course of a pandemic. We present a Susceptible-Exposed-Asymptomatic-Infectious-Recovered-Susceptible mathematical model ...

This paper presents a novel epidemiological transmission model of a population affected by two different susceptible-infected-susceptible infectious diseases. For each disease, individuals fall into one of the two ...
