COVID-19 changing the face of the world. Can sub-Sahara Africa cope?

Machingauta, Mandidayingeyi Hellen; Lungu, Bwalya; Lungu, Edward (Biomath, 2021-03-29)

We formulate a mathematical model for the spread of the coronavirus which incorporates adherence to disease prevention. The major results of this study are: First, we determined optimal infection coefficients such that ...
Effect of innate and adaptive immune mechanisms on treatment regimens in an AIDS- related Kaposi's Sarcoma model

Chimbola, Obias Mulenga; Lungu, Edward; Szomolay, Barbara (Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2021-04-12)

Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is the most common AIDS-defining cancer, even as HIV-positive people live longer. Like other herpesviruses, human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) establishes a lifelong infection of the host that in association ...
Masamu program, a US-Africa partnership

Jenda, Overtoun; Lungu, Edward (American Mathematical Society, 2021-02)

The primary goal of the Masamu (note that “masamu” means mathematics in Southern Africa) Program is to enhance research in the mathematical sciences and related areas within the Southern Africa Mathematical ...
A Mathematical model of contact tracing during the 2014–2016 West African Ebola outbreak

Burton, Danielle; Lenhart, Suzanne; Edholm, Christina; Levy, Benjamin; Washington, Michael; Greening, Bradford Jr.; White, Jane; Lungu, Edward; Chimbola, Obias; Kgosimore, Moatlhodi; Chirove, Faraimunashe; Ronoh, Marilyn; Machingauta, Helen (MDPI AG, 2021-03-12)

The 2014–2016 West African outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was the largest and most deadly to date. Contact tracing, following up those who may have been infected through contact with an infected individual to prevent ...
Mathematical modeling of infectious and non communicable diseases: exploring public health intervention strategies

Machingauta, Mandidayingeyi Hellen (Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), 2022-02)

As new viruses and new pandemics emerge we face the question as to whether our global health systems are well prepared to deal with them. Non pharma ceutical measures are a key control measure in the battle against ...
Neglected tropical diseases: Mathematical modelling and control of within-host and transmission dynamics of viral infections

Shava, Roselyn, Fungai, Kaondera (Botswana International University of Science and Technology, 2021-06)

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a health crisis that is ignored by the developed world and only starts getting attention when there is an outbreak that kills a large population. AIDS associated Kaposi sarcoma ...
The Pathogenesis of AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related KS: A mathematical perspective,

Chimbola, Obias Mulenga (Botswana International University of Science and Technology, 2021-04)

Kaposi’s sarcoma is a common AIDS-defining cancer that has continued to afflict patients living with HIV-1, especially, individuals who are currently not on HAART or whose HIV-1 status is not known. Even individuals who ...
