We develop a multi-patch and multi-group model that captures the dynamics of an infectious disease when the host is structured into an arbitrary number of groups and interacts into an arbitrary number of patches where the infection takes place. In this framework, we model host mobility that depends on its epidemiological status, by a Lagrangian approach. This framework is applied to a general SEIRS model and the basic reproduction number $${\mathcal {R}}_0$$R0 is derived. The effects of…

Multi-patch multi-group epidemic model with varying infectivity
. This paper presents a law of large numbers result, as the size of the population tends to infinity, of SIR stochastic epidemic models, for a population distributed over L distinct patches (with…
Multi-patch epidemic models with general infectious periods.
We study multi-patch SIR and SEIR models where individuals may migrate from one patch to another in either of the susceptible, exposed/latent, infectious and recovered states. We assume that…
Multi-patch epidemic models with general exposed and infectious periods
We study multi-patch epidemic models where individuals may migrate from one patch to another in either of the susceptible, exposed/latent, infectious and recovered states. We assume that infections…
Dynamics and asymptotic profiles of endemic equilibrium for SIS epidemic patch models.
TLDR
Qualitative analysis to two SIS epidemic models in a patchy environment, without and with linear recruitment, establishes the global stability of endemic equilibrium in a special case, which partially solves an open problem and implies that the variation of total population number can cause infectious disease to become more threatening and difficult to control.
Multi-patch and multi-group model for the transmission of the malaria
TLDR
A multipatch and multigroup model is proposed using the Ross-Macdonald model as a basis, in which mobility is incorporated from the Lagrangian approach where all individuals belong to a specific group but spend part of their time in an arbitrary number of patches.
Estimating the effective reproduction number for heterogeneous models using incidence data
The effective reproduction number, R(t), is a central point in the study of infectious diseases. It establishes in an explicit way the extent of an epidemic spread process in a population. The…
Effects of Heterogeneity and Global Dynamics of Weakly Connected Subpopulations
We develop a method that completely characterizes the global dynamics of models with multiple subpopulations that are weakly interconnected. The method is applied on two classes of models with…
A multi-source global-local model for epidemic management
TLDR
The procedures developed in this article shed light on how to develop an effective surveillance system when information is incomplete and can be applied in cases other than México’s.
The Impact of Mobility on the Spread of Infectious Diseases to and from High Risk Environments
During a pandemic such as COVID-19, managing public transit efectively becomes a critical policy decision. On the one hand, efcient transportation plays a pivotal role in enabling the movement of…

TLDR
A multi-group epidemic framework via virtual dispersal where the risk of infection is a function of the residence time and local environmental risk and can be generalized in other endemic and disease outbreak models.

Transmission dynamics for vector-borne diseases in a patchy environment
TLDR
The model incorporates into the classic Ross–MacDonald model two factors: disease latencies in both hosts and vectors, and dispersal of hosts between patches, which can be useful to health organizations at various levels for setting guidelines or making policies for travels.

A model for disease transmission in a patchy environment
TLDR
It is proved that if susceptible and infectious individuals travel at the same rate, then R_0 gives a sharp threshold with the endemic equilibrium being globally asymptotically stable for $R_0>1$.
Models of infectious diseases in spatially heterogeneous environments
TLDR
The results indicate the importance of knowing the spatial distribution and mobility patterns to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases and the consequences for the design of public health policies are discussed.
Perspectives on the role of mobility, behavior, and time scales in the spread of diseases
TLDR
Fostering the reenergizing of research that aims at disentangling the role of epidemiological and socioeconomic forces on disease dynamics, better understood as complex adaptive systems, is a key aim of this perspective.
