ABSTRACT:

Despite the development of vaccines, the COVID-19 pandemic still poses a
continuous threat due to the emergence of multiple strains. Insights into
the virus infection dynamics within a host and virus transmission dynamics
between hosts are crucial for effective control strategies. In the first
part of this talk, I will present mathematical models describing how virus
spreads within a single host. In particular, we implement viral load data
from ferrets (animal model) to estimate key parameters related to
SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the second part, I will discuss between-hosts
models for the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in a community. We apply
our models to the unique data-sets from Nepal, which shares open-border
with India, one of the most COVID-19 impacted countries in the world. I
will demonstrate how our data-driven models can provide vital information
for developing control strategies for both within-host and between-host
scales.
