A model for mosquito-borne epidemic outbreaks with information-dependent protective behaviour

Abstract We investigate a model for a mosquito-borne epidemic in which human hosts may adopt protective behaviour against vector bites in response to information on both past and current disease prevalence. Assuming that mosquitoes can also feed on non-competent hosts (i.e. hosts...

Cross-diffusion and fast-reaction in pattern formation: a structural analysis

Abstract Cross-diffusion systems play a central role in mathematical modelling, in which density-dependent dispersal and multiscale mechanisms can lead to spatial segregation and diffusion-driven instabilities. In several relevant examples, including generalised SKT-type competit...
