Modeling the spread of bed bug infestation and optimal resource allocation for disinfestation by Ali Gharouni, Lin Wang

“…A patch-structured multigroup-like $SIS$ epidemiological model is proposed to study the spread of the common bed bug infestation.It is shown that the model exhibits global threshold dynamics with the basic reproduction number as the threshold parameter.Costs associated with the disinfestation process are incorporated into setting up the optimization problems.Procedures are proposed and simulated for finding optimal resource allocation strategies to achieve the infestation free state.Our analysis and simulations provide useful insights on how to efficiently distribute the available exterminators among the infested patches for optimal disinfestation management.…”

The Behavior of an SVIR Epidemic Model with Stochastic Perturbation by Yanan Zhao, Daqing Jiang

“…We investigate the asymptotic behavior according to the perturbation and the reproduction number R0. We deduce the globally asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium when R0≤ 1 and the perturbation is small, which means that the disease will die out. …”
