The most widely approaches to reduce human arboviral infections is the suppression of the vector population through the use of chemical and mechanical control. The long and intensive use of chemical products promotes the development of mosquitoes's resistance. Currently, the use of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes that inhibits the transmission of arboviruses is under study as a potential ec…
Taking into account all the infectious disease spread worldwide, vector-borne diseases account for over 17%. For a huge part of them, no efficient vaccine is available, and control efforts must be done on the vector population. Focusing on dengue and malaria, two diseases transmitted by vector mosquito and which cause high morbidity and mortality around the world, this project aims to mod…
A mathematical model will be set up to describe the temporal evolution of dengue virus and human immune system during a second infection. The hypothesis is that specific and non-especific immunological cells compete by virus neutralization. The goal is to analyse two situation: when the infection is controlled by the immune system; and when the infection is enhanced by the immune cells g…
Vaccination against seasonal influenza remains a primary public health measure to prevent infection and its outcomes such as hospitalization and death. Low vaccine-effectiveness is a factor undermining efforts to improve strategies and uptake of influenza vaccination. In this context, an important question arises: could vaccine effectiveness determine target groups for vaccination in the …
Development of mathematical models to evaluate the use of mosquitoes infected by the bacterium Wolbachia to control arbovirus. An ordinary differential model with delay, and a celluar automa will be propose to answer different questions: (i) what is the influence of the temperature on the effectiveness of the technique? (ii) the competitive advantage given by cytoplasmic incompatibility t…

Arboviruses are considered a major public health problem, and in the absence of effective vaccines, vector population control is essential. In this scenario diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika appear for which the main vector is the Aedes mosquito. Therefore, the use of Wolbachia bacterium is a new and efficient control technique that blocks the virus' transmission when present…
A system of ordinary differential equations is proposed to model the dynamics of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a vector of several diseases such as dengue. The model considers eggs in a period of quiescence and competition between wild populations and populations infected by the Wolbachia bacteria. We will study, analytically and numerically, the contribution of eggs in quiescence infected …
Hospital infections (IrAS) have increased in recent years, causing significant problems, economic and social, it is necessary studies for greater efficiency in the control of these infections. The objective is to create a connection between hospitals to understand how they are related, and to propose solutions for control from the identification of sinks and sources of infection. Hospital…
Co-occurrence of cotton, maize and soybean in spatio-temporal dimensions (called cross-contamination) may be important for maintenance of multiple polyphagous pests during crop time or postharvest. In these conditions, information focused on movement strategies and competition between immatures is scarce. Understanding when, how, where and why insects move in the larval stage as way for e…

Cooperative use of resistance management strategies by farmers could significantly improve the sustainable management of lepidopteran pests of economically important crops. In this study, we propose to simulate with game theory how ecological interactions and cooperation between farmers affect control and the dynamics of local adaptation to critical insecticides in fall armyworm (Spodopte…
Mathematical models can be used to address several questions related to diseases's temporal and spatial patterns. Also, relevant epidemiological parameters that cannot be accessed experimentally can be estimated from these models that constitute a silico laboratory. The develop of new methodologies that couple data, disease knowledge, and models are an actual challenge.Infectious diseases…
Malaria is a communicable disease that affects people in many different places of the world. Sul-sabaran Africa in one of the most harmed regions and, thus, WHO started to implement insectice treated nets to combat Anopheles mosquitoes, which are vectors of the disease. However, this preventive tool may have led mosquito population to adapt in different ways. Here it is intended to develo…
