Manuscript Topics
The concept of “One Health” has brought to the fore the fact that understanding the dynamics of infectious diseases can no longer be limited to the disease-causing pathogen or the agents responsible for their transmission. A combination of various interactive aspects of the niches of the pathogen, their ecological dynamics, their impact on the humans and animals they infect and affect, as well as the processes, and the role that humans and animals play in fostering or enabling the successes of these pathogens and/or transmitting agents need to be understood and exploited towards achieving lasting and effective control. These ecological niches may change due to environmental, human, or natural factors. Nonetheless, as a whole, they impact how these diseases continue to succeed.
This special issue is a combination of original manuscripts that highlight the aforementioned situation through mathematical modeling. It is dedicated to the celebration of the 55th birthday of Dr. Gideon A. Ngwa, a prominent Professor of Mathematical Biology and Applied Mathematics, who has dedicated his career and life to educating and fostering the study of Mathematics and Mathematical Biology at the undergraduate and graduate levels at the University of Buea, Cameroon and Africa in general.
