- a Given these assumptions about the fifictitia epidemic, write down the two laws of motion for St and It in terms of St, It, C, p, α, β, γ , and the λs. b What conditions must be true if the populations of infected and uninfected people are in steady state (that is, they do not change over time)? c Assume γ = 0. Interpret this assumption. d Now assume γ >β. Interpret this assumption. e Assuming γ >β, solve for I∗ as a function of C, p, α, β, γ , and the λs. [Hint:As a fifirst step, you should add your two equations from part (b) to derive a relationship between I∗ and S∗.] f How does a change in the price of p affffect the steady-state level of I∗?Mouse Infection A model for the spread of an infectious dis- ease among mice is NP = rN - ar(a + b + v) dt b + y, where N is the size of the population of mice, a is the mortal- ity rate due to infection, b is the mortality rate due to natural causes for infected mice, B is a transmission coefficient for the rate that infected mice infect susceptible mice, v is the rate the mice recover from infection, and y is the rate that mice lose immunity. Show that the solution to this equation, with the initial condition N(0) =(a + b + v)/B, can be written as (a + b + v), 2{(R – a)e" + a], BR N(t) = where R = a - (1+, b + yAssuming that there is a certain new vaccine used in the Philippines.

- An enzyme immunoassay for the detection of chlamydia trachomatis in cervical specimens has a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 98% when compared with culture. This test will be used by an HMO to screen women of reproductive age who are receiving their annual examination. A previous study, which used culture to screen 1000 women, determined that the prevalence of infection was 2%. In this population, which of the following is the predictive value of a positive screening test?Pathogen A has an ID50 of 10 cells and an LD50 of 10,000,000 cells. Pathogen B has an ID50 of 10,000 cells and an LD50 of 20,000 cells. From this information, we can determine that: ○ Pathogen A has higher infectivity but lower virulence than Pathogen B. ○ Pathogen A has lower infectivity but higher virulence than Pathogen B. ○ Pathogen B has higher infectivity but lower virulence than Pathogen A. ○ Pathogen B has higher infectivity and higher virulence than Pathogen A.A COVID-19 test, which produce result in 10 minutes, has the following test characteristics. The test has a 95% sensitivity and a 95% specificity. The State of Massachusetts is in dilemma whether to test symptomatic individuals or the entire residents to decrease the spread of infection as depicted in the following two scenarios. Scenario A. The State of Massachusetts wants to administer the test on 40,000 individuals who will develop cough, fever and shortness of breath in the next 10 days to identify COVID-19 infected individuals and institute public health measures. The estimated prevalence of COVID-19 in this population is 750 per 1,000 population using a gold-standard test. Scenario B. The State of Massachusetts wants to administer the test to its entire COVID-19 uninfected population (6,750,000). The estimated prevalence of COVID-19 in this population is 5 per 1,000 population using a gold-standard test. Please help the State of Massachusetts by responding to the…
- Consider the formula in Section 3 of SimUText's How Diseases Spread that relates the critical immunization threshold, pc and the Basic Reproductive Number R0. Recall that the critical immunization threshold is the minimum proportion of the population that must be vaccinated to establish herd immunity; and The Basic Reproductive Number is the average number of individuals infected by an infected individual, if the whole population is susceptible. What happens to the critical immunization threshold as R0 gets larger (more individuals are infected by an infected individual)? Consider the formula in Section 3 of SimUText's How Diseases Spread that relates the critical immunization threshold, pcand the Basic Reproductive Number R0. Recall that the critical immunization threshold is the minimum proportion of the population that must be vaccinated to establish herd immunity; and The Basic Reproductive Number is the average number of individuals infected by an infected individual, if…During 1972, 29 cases of tularemia occurred in a county with a population of 7,000 persons.
