The main idea of this program is to propose and analyze mathematical models that support the design of programs for the comprehensive control of vectors that include the biological control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito and Diaphorina Citri, and of models that allow the indirect estimation of the indices of TBC infection in Cali, and that serve as a basis for the analysis and evaluation of strategies to combat the causes of persistence of this disease.
Through mathematical techniques such as dynamic population modeling, control theory, and the use of complex network techniques, in this program we propose to find, analyze, and quantify, from a cost-benefit point of view, different strategies available for the control of both the population of vectors and of the diseases mentioned.
The following projects are included in this program:
- Mathematical models and methods for the control of Aedes aegypti
- Mathematical models and methods for the control of Diaphorina citri
- Mathematical methods for monitoring, analysis and control of tuberculosis in Cali
