  The primary Amazonian malaria vector Anopheles darlingi has the ability to adapt quickly to micro- geographic changes resulting from novel environmental conditions such as those encountered in agricultural settlements. Therefore, it is a substantial health threat in Latin America. This proposal examines three understudied aspects of An. darlingi to identify the main mechanism responsible …

• Abstract

  Physicians generate diagnostic hypotheses in response to symptoms, clinical signs or other information obtained while assessing patients. There are several studies showing that this process can be fast and the accuracy of these hypotheses have a decisive influence on the final diagnosis. We conceptualize that the generation of diagnostic hypotheses is a lexical semantic association proces…

  A central question in epidemiology is how heterogeneity, in its different manifestations, influences the dynamics and intensity of infections. The individual differences have been named \QTR{it}{frailty} in the demography literature in the context of susceptibility to death. In this project we propose an epidemic model, taking into account the phenomenon of frailty in the vaccination rate…
