Population biology of infectious diseases: Part II
Robert M. May,Roy M. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: Consideration is given to the relation between the ecology and evolution of the transmission processes and the overall dynamics, and to the mechanisms that can produce cyclic patterns, or multiple stable states, in the levels of infection in the host population.

Thresholds and breakpoints in ecosystems with a multiplicity of stable states
TL;DR: This review discusses how alternate stable states can arise in simple 1- and 2-species systems, and applies these ideas to grazing systems, to insect pests, and to some human host–parasite systems.

TL;DR: Examples from human and wildlife disease systems are reviewed to illustrate the challenges inherent in understanding the mechanisms and impacts of seasonal environmental drivers, and to highlight general insights that are relevant to other ecological interactions.
Determining important parameters in the spread of malaria through the sensitivity analysis of a mathematical model.
TL;DR: This work performs sensitivity analyses on a mathematical model of malaria transmission to determine the relative importance of model parameters to disease transmission and prevalence and finds that in areas of low transmission, the reproductive number and the equilibrium proportion of infectious humans are most sensitive to the mosquito biting rate.

Simon I. Hay,Carlos A Guerra,Carlos A Guerra,Peter W. Gething,Peter W. Gething,Anand P. Patil,Andrew J. Tatem,Abdisalan M. Noor,Abdisalan M. Noor,Caroline W Kabaria,Bui H. Manh,Iqbal R. F. Elyazar,Simon Brooker,Simon Brooker,David L. Smith,Rana Moyeed,Robert W. Snow,Robert W. Snow +17 more
TL;DR: This 2007 global P. falciparum malaria endemicity map is the first of a series with which it will be possible to monitor and evaluate the progress of this intervention process, and shows significant opportunities for malaria control in Africa and for malaria elimination elsewhere.
