Additional Topics for Future Studies

In this chapter, we discuss several issues which deserve further investigations from the mathematical modelling point of view. We focus on issues relevant to developmental and/or behavioural diapause, co-feeding transmission, and their interactions. Our f

The rapid pace and development of the research in mathematics, biology and medicine has opened a niche for a new type of publication - short, up-to-date, readable lecture notes covering the breadth of mathematical modelling, analysis and computation in the life-sciences, at a high level, in both printed and electronic versions. The volumes in this series are written in a style accessible to researchers, professionals and graduate students in the mathematical and biological sciences. They can serve as an introduction to recent and emerging subject areas and/or as an advanced teaching aid at colleges, institutes and universities. Besides monographs, we envision that this series will also provide an outlet for material less formally presented and more anticipatory of future needs, yet of immediate interest because of the novelty of its treatment of an application, or of the mathematics being developed in the context of exciting applications. It is important to note that the LMML focuses on books by one or more authors, not on edited volumes. The topics in LMML range from the molecular through the organismal to the population level, e.g. genes and proteins, evolution, cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience, organ, tissue and whole body science, immunolog
