Abstract In this paper, we study periodic oscillation of seasonally forced epidemiological models with impulse vaccination where periodicity occurs in contact rate. Using the famous Mawhin’s ...

One use of mathematical models of epidemics is thought experiments to aid scientists in reasoning from premise to conclusion in complex systems. Quite a few models of the Covid-19 pandemic have now ...

Throughout recorded history, human society has lived with periodic epidemics and pandemics. Numerous disease outbreaks have led to death, societal upheaval, and economic disruption. Predicting how an ...
