This volume convenes carefully selected, peer-reviewed papers presented at the BIOMAT 2023 International Symposium, which was virtually held on November 6-9, 2023, with an organization staff based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In this volume, the reader will find studies on the epidemic model of the COVID-19 pandemic, aspects of risk-based testing and quarantine, as well as joint efforts in the search for the perfect vaccine. Additionally, the volume covers the influence of fear and the saturated fear cost in predator-prey dynamics, optimal control techniques applied to HPV infection and cervical cancer cells, generic epidemic models for disease propagation, discretized SIS model with no vertical transmission, dynamics of vibrio-phage interactions, and antibiotics treatment for septic arthritis.

Comprehensive Reviews are also included on the applications of CHIRP ultrasound for the mathematical modeling of evaporation of nanodroplets and on Alternative Entropy Measures and their application in the studies of distributions of discrete probabilities of occurrence. These works aim to motivate Ph.D. students and new practitioners in the field of Biomathematics.

Held every year since 2001, the BIOMAT International Symposium gathers together, in a single conference, researchers from Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and affine fields to foster the interdisciplinary exchange of results, ideas, and techniques, promoting truly international cooperation for problem discussion. BIOMAT volumes published from 2017 to 2022 are also available by Springer.
