1. Mathematical modelling of vector-borne diseases and insecticide resistance evolution
Abstract Background: Vector-borne diseases are important public health issues and, consequently, in silico models that simulate them can be useful. The susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model simulates the population dynamics of an epidemic and can be easily adapted to vector-borne diseases, whereas the Hardy-Weinberg model simulates allele frequencies a

2. Simulando o processo epidêmico da rubéola via autômatos celulares em diferentes topologias : a dependência da idade no fator infecção
Este trabalho apresenta um modelo epidêmico baseado em autômato celular que descreve a propagação da rubéola, baseando-se no modelo inicialmente proposto por (AMAKU et al., 2003),introduzindo dependência da idade dos indivíduos em um modelo canônico de propagação epidêmica, conhecido como modelo SIR. É analisada a evolução da epidemia ao longo

3. Estudo de parâmetros epidemiológicos através de modelamento matemático: aspectos estacionários, espaciais e temporais. / The study of epidemiological parameters through mathematical modelling: stationary, spatial and temporal features.
We have studied, based on mathematical modelling, stationary, spatial and temporal features related to the propagation and control of directly transmitted infectious diseases through person-to-person contact. We have developed deterministic mathematical models founded on the mass-action principle of Epidemiology, taking into account the symmetry of contacts

4. HIV and AIDS in Bangladesh
Bangladesh initiated an early response to the HIV epidemic starting in the mid-1980s. Since then, the res-ponse has been enhanced considerably, and many HIV-prevention interventions among the most at-risk populations and the general youth are being undertaken. Alongside prevention activities, gathering of data has been a key activity fostered by both the Gov

5. Monitoring mortality as an indicator of influenza in Catalonia, Spain.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the behaviour of two indicators of influenza activity in the area of Barcelona and to evaluate the usefulness of modelling them to improve the detection of influenza epidemics. DESIGN: Descriptive time series study using the number of deaths due to all causes registered by funeral services and reported cases o

6. Asthma mortality in Australia 1920-94: age, period, and cohort effects.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate asthma mortality during 1920-94 in Australia in order to assess the relative role of period and birth cohort effects. DESIGN: Asthma mortality (both sexes) was age standardised and examined for changes over time. The data were also examined for age, period, and cohort (APC) effects using Poisson regression modelling. SETTING:

7. Health effects of an air pollution episode in London, December 1991.
BACKGROUND--In December 1991 London experienced a unique air pollution episode during which concentrations of nitrogen dioxide rose to record levels, associated with moderate increases in black smoke. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this episode was associated with adverse health effects and whether any such effects could be attributed to ai
