A bayesian framework for parameter estimation in dynamical models
2011-05-24Mathematical models in biology are powerful tools for the study and exploration of complex dynamics. Nevertheless, bringing theoretical results to an agreement with experimental observations involves acknowledging a great ... -
Behavioral modulation of infestation by varroa destructor in bee colonies. Implications for colony stability
2016-09-01Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has become a global problem for beekeepers and for the crops that depend on bee pollination. While many factors are known to increase the risk of colony collapse, the ectoparasitic mite Varroa ... -
A bitstring approach for implementing agent-based epidemiological models
2017Agent-based Models (ABM) are gaining importance over traditional epidemiological modeling due to advances in computing technology and by the need for detailed epidemiological analysis of emergent diseases. Unfortunately, ... -
Can zika account for the missing babies?
2017-11-29The Zika virus (ZIKV) spread rapidly in Brazil in 2015 and 2016. Rio de Janeiro was among the Brazilian cities which were hit the hardest, with more that a hundred thousand confirmed cases up to the end of 2016. Given the ... -
Estimating the attack ratio of dengue epidemics under time-varying force of infection using aggregated notification data
2015-12-17Quantifying the attack ratio of disease is key to epidemiological inference and public health planning. For multi-serotype pathogens, however, different levels of serotype-specific immunity make it difficult to assess the ... -
A framework for modeling and simulating Aedes aegypti and Dengue fever dynamics
2014Dengue fever represents a great challenge for many countries, and methodologies to prevent and/or control its transmission have been largely discussed by the research community. Modeling is a powerful tool to understand ... -
Higher incidence of Zika in adult women than adult men in Rio de Janeiro suggests a significant contribution of sexual transmission from men to women
2016-10Objectives: The recent emergence of Zika in Brazil and its association with an increased rate of congenital malformations has raised concerns over its impact on the birth rate in the country. Using data on the incidence ... -
Reconstructing news spread networks and studying its dynamics
2018-01-17News spread in internet media outlets can be seen as a contagious process forming temporal networks representing the influence between published articles. In this article we propose a methodology based on the application ... -
Zika in Rio de Janeiro: assessment of basic reproduction number and comparison with dengue outbreaks
2017-06Zika virus infection was declared a public health emergency of international concern in February 2016 in response to the outbreak in Brazil and its suspected link with congenital anomalies. In this study, we use notification ...
