A comparative stochastic and deterministic study of a class of epidemic dynamic models for malaria: exploring the impacts of noise on eradication and persistence of disease
A comparative stochastic and deterministic study of a family of SEIRS epidemic dynamic models for malaria is presented. The family type is determined by the qualitative behavior of the nonlinear incidence rates of the disease. Furthermore, the malaria models exhibit three random delays:- two of the delays represent the incubation periods of the disease inside the vector and human hosts, whereas the third delay is the period of effective natural immunity against the disease. The stochastic malaria models are improved by including the random environmental fluctuations in the disease transmission and natural death rates of humans. Insights about the effects of the delays and the noises on the malaria dynamics are gained via comparative analyses of the family of stochastic and deterministic models, and further critical examination of the significance of the intensities of the white noises in the system on (1) the existence and stability of the equilibria, and also on (2) the eradication and persistence of malaria in the human population. The basic reproduction numbers and other threshold values for malaria in the stochastic and deterministic settings are determined and compared for the cases of constant or random delays in the system. Numerical simulation results are presented.

The stochastic dynamics of early epidemics: probability of establishment, initial growth rate, and infection cluster size at first detection
Emerging epidemics and local infection clusters are initially prone to stochastic effects that can substantially impact the epidemic trajectory. While numerous studies are devoted to the deterministic regime of an establ…
The deterministic Kermack-McKendrick model bounds the general stochastic epidemic
We prove that, for Poisson transmission and recovery processes, the classic Susceptible $\to$ Infected $\to$ Recovered (SIR) epidemic model of Kermack and McKendrick provides, for any given time $t>0$, a strict lower bou…
Stochasticity and the limits to confidence when estimating R_0 of Ebola and other emerging infectious diseases
Dynamic models - often deterministic in nature - were used to estimate the basic reproductive number, R_0, of the 2014-5 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic outbreak in West Africa. Estimates of R_0 were then used to proj…
