DOI: 10.1002/mma.5652
Abstract: We study a stochastic model for the spread of two pathogen strains—termed type 1 and type 2—among a homogeneously mixing community consisting of a finite number of individuals. In the model, we assume partial cross‐immunity,… read more here.

Abstract: Previous exposure to influenza viruses confers cross-immunity against future infections with related strains. However, this is not always accounted for explicitly in mathematical models used for forecasting during influenza outbreaks. We show that, if an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2020.110049
Abstract: Abstract Of the seven coronaviruses associated with disease in humans, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 cause considerable mortality but also share significant sequence homology, and potentially antigenic epitopes capable of inducing an immune response. The degree… read more here.

DOI: 10.14336/ad.2020.1104
Abstract: India has witnessed a high number of COVID-19 cases, but mortality has been quite low, and most cases have been asymptomatic or mild. In early April, we had hypothesized a low COVID-19 mortality in India,… read more here.
