Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe SEIR Dynamical Transmission Model of Dengue Disease with and Without the Vertical Transmission of the VirusPratchaya Chanprasopchai, I. Ming Tang, Puntani PongsumpunThe transmission of dengue disease when there is a possibility of Vertical Transmission (VT) is studied using mathematical modeling. In the normal case, the mosquito is infected by the dengue virus when it bites an infectious human being. Evidence is gathering that the mosquitoes can also be infected through sexual contact with infected male mosquito. To see the possible consequence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 2 Jan 2018 · 9,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSIR Transmission Model of Dengue Virus Taking Into Account Two Species of Mosquitoes and an Age Structure in the Human PopulationR. Sungchasit, P. Pongsumpun, I. M. TangDengue is a vector-borne disease. It is transmitted to humans by the bites of the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The human population is separated into two classes, a child class and an adult class, each class being described by a SIR model. The transmission rates of the two mosquito species are different and depend on what class the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 28 Jul 2015 · 6,511 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution Pattern of Human Urinary Schistosomiasis in Kwara State, NigeriaSunday Ojo Joseph, Babamale Olarewaju Abdulkareem, Ugbomoiko Uade SamuelHuman urinary schistosomiasis is a severe parasitic infectious disease in many rural communities in tropical Africa. The status of infection in Kwara State is inadequately documented. We, therefore, investigated distribution pattern of infection amongst school-aged children in the three Senatorial Districts of the state. Of 3757 urine samples examined, 670 (17.8%) were infected with 8.9% in Central, 13.5% in South … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2018 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLyapunov Function for a Dengue Transmission Model where two Species of Mosquitoes are Present: Global StabilityI Ming Tang, Rattiya Sungchasit, Puntani PongsumpunIn this study, we are interested in the newly observed endemic due to the ZIKA virus. In the absence of a full knowledge of the dynamics of the infection due to this virus, we consider a model of the closely related dengue virus when there are two species of mosquitoes, A. aegypti and A. albopictus mosquitoes who are both capable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 25 Oct 2017 · 8,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransmission Model of Chikungunya Fever in the Presence of Two Species of Aedes MosquitoesSurapol Naowarat, I. Ming TangIn 2008 there was a large outbreak of Chikungunya fever in the south of Thailand. Chikungunya fever is a febrile disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. The symptoms of this disease are a sudden onset of a fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, joint pain with or without swelling, low back pain and rash. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 27 May 2013 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Dynamics of Tuberculosis Transmission in Children and AdultsF. Nyabadza, M. KgosimoreProblem statement: The fight Against Tuberculosis (TB) has mainly focused on the adult population because children were perceived to pose a very low risk in TB transmission. This assumption ignores the potential risk children had as reservoirs of latent infections from which future cases evolve when they become adults. It was therefore important to investigate the dynamics of TB taking … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2012 · 7,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mosquito Repellent on the Transmission Model of Chikungunya FeverSurapol Naowarat, Prasit Thongjaem, I. Ming TangProblem statement: In 2008 there was a large outbreak of Chikungunya fever in southern Thailand. Chikungunya fever is an emerging disease which tends to affect rubber plantation and fruit orchard workers more than other occupation. This study we considers the efficacy of using mosquito repellent as a way to prevent and control the spread of Chikungunya fever. The mathematical model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2012 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Model for Determining Human Susceptibility to Dengue FeverSurapol Naowarat, Thanon Korkiatsakul, I. Ming TangProblem statement: Mathematical models are a useful tool for understanding and describing the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, one of the most prevalently emerging diseases common to tropical and subtropical areas throughout South East Asia. By taking into account human susceptibility to disease, the dynamics of a dengue disease model is proposed. Approach: Using standard methods for analyzing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2011 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalaria and Climate Change: Discussion on Economic ImpactsMd. Shahin Mia, Rawshan Ara Begum, Ah-Choy Er et al.Problem statement: Climate change is a global environmental change that is adversely affecting human health by causing various health impacts in countries throughout the world. Climate is the most influential driving force of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. Changes in climate factors substantially affect reproduction, development, distribution and seasonal transmissions of malaria. Climate change increases the outbreak of malaria which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeptospirosis in the Tropics: When Prevention Doesn't Easily Sell as a Ton of CureRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Human leptospirosis -- the most widespread zoonotic disease -- thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is seldom addressed ex ante or prior to an outbreak or expected outbreak by governments of high-risk countries. Whether common, post-exposure treatment with antimicrobial drugs is more cost-efficient than reducing animal reservoir populations was the overarching question that guided this study. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
