About this Research Topic
Nature is filled with biotic organisms (bacteria, insects, plants, animals, etc.) and B-biotic elements of the environment (air, soil, and water). The life cycle of biotic elements is entirely dependent on the abiotic elements. Pathogens like viruses, bacteria, or other infectious agents can cause diseases in living creatures. The pathogens are capable of causing infectious disease directly, or they can also spread through the other multiple species (known as the Vector). Zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from non-human animals to humans. Zoonotic pathogens may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic, involve unconventional agents, and can spread to humans through direct contact with food, water, or the environment. Currently, highly infectious human populations of diseases include HIV, SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), H1N1 flu (swine flu), Dengue (Vector-borne), and so forth. Another essential feature is the pollutant of the environment (like the pesticide used for agricultural purposes and oil in the seawater) that spread among the animals through the food. Therefore, it is crucial to study infectious disease dynamics in ecological systems and human populations.
Infectious diseases have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality worldwide. Moreover, the world is witnessing the emergence of new pathogens, the reemergence of old ones, and the spreading antibiotic resistance. Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to identify (also forecast) the mechanisms behind biological systems. Formulating the epidemic of ecological models in a mathematical model using ordinary/partial differential equations, fractional differential equations, and stochastic differential of discrete differential equations, researchers, try to identify the background dynamics. To study the epidemic system, organisms, including human, are divided into different compartment, and their spreading dynamics is studied. Nevertheless, different species are considered in the same system of equations in an ecological system and investigate their consumption pattern. A variety of modeling approaches is used through the investigation of stability, bifurcation, or model validation approach.
Infectious diseases and ecological modeling-related articles are encouraged for submission to the journal. We are interested in original research articles that focus on new research directions. According to Frontiers review guidelines, peer review is carried out to ensure that high-quality manuscripts can be published relatively and efficiently. In vast, the articles that will be covered the following topics are the leading motivations for publication on this platform:
- Public health and data analysis
- Infectious disease modeling and model validation
- Vector-borne diseases with single or multiple stain
- Stability and bifurcation analysis
- Eco-epidemic & ecological models
