The cannibalistic behavior of has been extensively researched, revealing instances of chaotic dynamics in laboratory environments for . The well-established Larvae-Pupae-Adult (LPA) model has been instrumental in understanding the conditions that lead to chaos in flour beetles (genus: ). In response to new experimental observations showing a decline in the pupae population in , we proposed and analyzed a simplified two-stage Larvae-Adult (LA) model.

Rigorous analyses of the model we developed reveal that the boundary equilibrium with only mosquitoes of homozygous sensitive (resistant) genotype is locally-asymptotically stable whenever a certain ecological threshold, denoted by , is less than one. Furthermore, genotype drives genotype to extinction whenever and (where , = or , with ≠ ).

India has been the latest global epicenter for COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease that emerged in China in late 2019. We present a base mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in India and its neighbor, Pakistan. The base model was rigorously analyzed and parameterized using cumulative COVID-19 mortality data from each of the two countries.
