Description:

Profs. Bansal, Billings and Del Valle have highly contributed in the area of biomathematics and in particular of epidemic modeling. Their visit to Brazil will allow an exchange of ideas between research groups in the US and Brazil that could bring about future collaborations, especially in the control of epidemics caused by mosquitoes that are present in both countries. There is no registration fee and everybody is welcome to participate.
