Since 2005, Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya have been circulating together in Brazil. The three viruses are transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and the only effective control strategy is to combat the vector. Outbreaks and epidemics happen at the same time and their intensity depends on the immunity of the local population and the size of the vector population. Cross-immunity and the …
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…

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (HPAI), subtype H5N1, is a contagious disease with a high lethality rate, potentially capable of causing the death of approximately 90-100% of poultry populations when contaminated, and triggering epidemics that rapidly spread across all regions of the world. Most migratory birds, especially aquatic ones, are considered natural reservoirs of the virus. …
Arboviruses are one of the main causes of morbidity in Brazil, among them those that cause epidemics in the urban environment, such as Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya, which circulate together since 2015. The three viruses are transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and the only effective control strategy is combating the vector. Three forms of control are in progress: mechanical, chemica…
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…

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…
