Estimation of the expected number of cases of microcephaly in Brazil as a result of Zika

In this paper we have adapted a delayed dengue model to Zika. By assuming that the epidemic starts by a single infected individual entering a disease-free population at some initial time t0 we have used the least squares parameter estimation technique in R to estimate the initial time t0 using obser...
