✦ Synopsis

The prevalence of Toxoplasmosis has increased dramatically around the world. Despite congenital Toxoplasmosis being not a disease of epidemic proportions, a large number of humans die or have serious effects on the developing fetus. In this paper we present an initial model with varying size population for the evolution of the infected people with Toxoplasmosis. We explore the dynamics of the Toxoplasmosis disease at the population level using an epidemiological model. Statistical data are used to estimate some of the parameters of the model. Numerical simulations of the model done by varying parameters show different scenarios about the spread of the disease.

SIS epidemic model with vaccination, temporary immunity, and varying total population size is studied. Three threshold parameters R.e, Ri, and Ra are identified. The disesss free equilibrium is globally stable if Rc 5 1 and unstable if Ro > 1, the endemic equilibrium is globally stable if Rc > 1. Th

Granted that a single or complex gene is responsible for inbreeding depression, theoretical expressions for fertility and viability are obtained in different diploid populations: brother-sister, half-brother-sister, cousins and double-cousins. The conclusions of the study of viability variations acc
