Associated Credit Risk Contagion with Incubatory Period: A Network-Based Perspective by Kai Xu, Jianming Mo, Qian Qian, Fengying Zhang, Xiaofeng Xie, Zongfang Zhou

“…The results show the following: (i) the contagion threshold of associated credit risk is related to the incubatory period of latent entities, the recovery rate and infectivity of infected entities, and the newborn rate of credit entities; (ii) the infectious rate of infected entities, the mortality rate of credit entities, and the important factors stated in (i) are all significantly correlated with the density of infected entities.…”

Stability and bifurcation analysis of epidemic models with saturated incidence rates: An application to a nonmonotone incidence rate by Yoichi Enatsu, Yukihiko Nakata

“…This can be interpreted as that reducing a contact rate may cause periodic oscillation of the number of infective individuals, thus disease can not be eradicated completely from the host population, though the level of the endemic equilibrium for the infective population decreases. …”

A simple model of HIV epidemic in Italy: The role of the antiretroviral treatment by Federico Papa, Francesca Binda, Giovanni Felici, Marco Franzetti, Alberto Gandolfi, Carmela Sinisgalli, Claudia Balotta

“…The model considers a single population of susceptibles, without distinction of high-risk groups within the general population, and accounts for the presence of immigration and emigration, modelling their effects on both the general demography and the dynamics of the infected subpopulations. To represent the intra-host disease progression, the untreated infected population is distributed over four compartments in cascade according to the CD4 counts. …”
