Climate-driven dengue forecasting in Bangladesh: division-specific feature-set design and lag structure

Abstract Bangladesh shows marked annual variation in dengue incidence, partly driven by meteorological effects on Aedes breeding and transmission. We contrast consistently high-burden Dhaka with Barishal, where dengue incidence has recently increased, and emphasize feature-set de...

Quantifying vaccination thresholds and roll-out delays in an influenza transmission model with waning and immune boosting

This study develops and analyzes an SVIRLQS epidemiological model to investigate the combined effects of vaccination, waning immunity, immune boosting, and secondary infections on disease transmission dynamics. Understanding these mechanisms is important because immunity acquired...
