Epidemiological implications of sporozoite aggregation in malaria vectors

Creator:: Li, Xiaohong, 1963-
Abstract:: This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector, and parasitological...

Analysis of epidemiological data with covariate errors

Creator:: Delongchamp, Robert
Abstract:: In regression analysis, random errors in an explanatory variable cause the usual estimates of its regression coefficient to be biased. Although this problem has been studied for many years, routine methods have not emerged. This thesis investigates some aspects of this problem in the setting of analysis of epidemiological data....
