Role of fractional derivatives in the mathematical modeling of the transmission of Chlamydia in the United States from 1989 to 2019

M. Vellappandi et al.

Summary: This article presents a mathematical model for analyzing the transmission of Chlamydia in the United States, using integer and fractional derivatives. The model helps to forecast future outbreaks and capture memory effects. Several graphs are plotted to visualize different parameter scenarios. The novelty of this work lies in the separate parameter estimation for each value of the fractional order. The use of real-data makes this study more significant.

A new study on two different vaccinated fractional-order COVID-19 models via numerical algorithms

Anwar Zeb et al.

Summary: The main purpose of this paper is to provide new vaccinated models of COVID-19 based on Caputo-Fabrizio and new generalized Caputo-type fractional derivatives. The formulation of the models is presented, and an extensive study of their dynamics is conducted, including positivity, boundedness, and local stability analysis. The existence of unique solutions for the proposed fractional-order models is discussed using fixed point theory. Numerical solutions are obtained using specific algorithms, and it is shown that the fractional-order models better exemplify the dynamics of COVID-19 compared to classical models. The analysis also includes convergence and stability analysis of the proposed methods, highlighting the importance of vaccine availability in controlling COVID-19 infection.

Transmission dynamics and epidemiological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant infections in Guangdong, China, May to June 2021

Min Kang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the transmission dynamics and epidemiological characteristics of the Delta variant in an outbreak in southern China. The findings showed that patients infected with the Delta variant had shorter latent and incubation periods and higher viral loads compared to the wild-type virus. The secondary attack rate among close contacts was 1.4%, with a significant proportion of transmissions occurring before symptom onset. The study also found that individuals without vaccination or with an incomplete vaccination series were more likely to transmit the infection.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a fractional-order model of cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1 with a discrete time delay

Syed Abbas et al.

Summary: This manuscript introduces fractional order onto a time-delay differential equation model of cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1. The local stability and conditions for Hopf bifurcation of the resulting system are investigated. Explicit expressions for determining stability of critical surfaces are also provided. Numerical results are presented using an Adams-type predictor-corrector technique. The main objective of this study is to describe the structure of HIV-1 using a fractional-order mathematical model, motivated by the ability of fractional derivatives to capture memory effects in the system.

Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Reinfection 18 Months After Primary Infection: Population-Level Observational Study

Maria Elena Flacco et al.

Summary: Current data suggests that SARS-CoV-2 reinfections are rare, but uncertainties remain regarding the duration of natural immunity, its protection against the Omicron variant, and the impact of vaccination on reducing reinfection rates. A retrospective cohort analysis of the entire population of an Italian region followed over 1.2 million subjects and found a reinfection rate of 6.1 parts per thousand after an average of 277 days. Importantly, this reinfection rate did not significantly vary over time, suggesting that natural immunity may last beyond 12 months. The risk of reinfection was higher among females, unvaccinated individuals, and during the Omicron wave.

Herd immunity under individual variation and reinfection

Antonio Montalban et al.

Summary: This study examines a susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) model with heterogeneity in susceptibility and exposure to infection. The research finds that epidemic growth can be effectively suppressed when the percentage of the population with acquired immunity surpasses the herd immunity threshold, taking into account the heterogeneity assumption.

Some novel mathematical analysis on the fractal-fractional model of the AH1N1/09 virus and its generalized Caputo-type version

Sina Etemad et al.

Summary: In this paper, a new model of AH1N1/09 influenza virus is formulated based on the four classes of susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered people. The model is investigated using fractal-fractional operators and power law type kernels. The existence of solution is studied using special mappings and the Leray-Schauder theorem. The stability criteria is explored and numerical solutions are approximated using the Adams-Bashforth scheme.

Summary: This paper aims to develop an Ayurvedic clinical profile of COVID-19 through literature review and analysis of clinical data, with the goal of developing standalone and integrative treatment approaches. Preliminary findings indicate that COVID-19 can be understood from an Ayurvedic perspective as a vatakapha dominant sannip nipatajvara of agantu origin with pittanubandha. Further research and collaboration with allopathic physicians is needed to refine and expand upon this preliminary clinical profile.

Dynamics of fractional order HIV infection model with antibody and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte immune responses

P. Tamilalagan et al.

Summary: This article examines the infection dynamics of a fractionally extended HIV infection model incorporating antibody and CTL immune responses, focusing on the role of antiretroviral therapy drugs in suppressing HIV infection. The dynamical characteristics of the system are qualitatively discussed through linear stability analysis, identifying stable regions of infectious and infection-free steady states. Results are compared with integer order models to understand the impact of fractional order derivatives in HIV infection models. In addition to qualitative analysis, numerical simulations are also performed to find solutions to the fractional system.

Summary: The study found that prior infection in patients with COVID-19 provided a high level of protection against reinfection and symptomatic disease, with this protection increasing over time. This suggests that viral shedding or ongoing immune response may persist beyond 90 days, and may not necessarily represent true reinfection.
