An Algebraic Discussion of Bisexual Populations with Wolbachia Infection I: Discrete Dynamical System Approach
This is the first paper in the sequel studying the Wolbachia-infection in bisexual populations. This paper considers the behavior of the population as a discrete dynamical system. The recurrence relation is obtained as a function of the initial infected male/female frequencies and the cytoplasmic incompatibility of the population. The experimental data from Wolbachia-infected terrestrial isopod populations and the model proposed in Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes from literature is compared with the discrete dynamical system achieved.

Multistage spatial model for informing release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes as disease control
Wolbachia is a naturally occurring bacterium that can infect Aedes mosquitoes and reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya. Field trials have been conducted worldw…
Gonosomal Algebra
We introduce the gonosomal algebra. Gonosomal algebra extend the evolution algebra of the bisexual population (EABP) defined by Ladra and Rozikov. We show that gonosomal algebras can represent algebraically a wide variet…
Modeling sustained transmission of Wolbachia among Anopheles mosquitoes: Implications for malaria control in Haiti
Wolbachia infection in Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes can render mosquitoes less capable of spreading malaria. We develop and analyze an ordinary differential equation model to evaluate the effectiveness of Wolbachia-bas…
Dengue transmission dynamics in age-structured human populations in the presence of Wolbachia
According to the World Health Organization the global incidence rate of dengue infections have risen drastically in recent years. It is estimated that globally the number of new infections is in the range of $100$ to $40…
Wolbachia infection in a sex-structured mosquito population carrying West Nile virus
Wolbachia is possibly the most studied reproductive parasite of arthropod species. It appears to be a promising candidate for biocontrol of some mosquito borne diseases. We begin by developing a sex-structured model for …
