A Simple SEIR Mathematical Model of Malaria Transmission
Journal Title: Asian Research Journal of Mathematics - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
We have studied an SEIR mathematical model, and applied it to malaria transmission. We discussed the existence and stability of the Disease-Free (DFE) and Endemic Equilibria (EE) of both models. The (DFE) was locally asymptotically stable if the reproduction number is less than one and unstable if the reproduction number is greater than one for SEIR and malaria transmission model. Numerical simulations using Matlab Software were conducted to confirm our analytic results. Our findings were that, Malaria may be controlled by reducing the contact rate between human and mosquito, reducing the infection rate between the human, the use of active malaria drugs, insecticides and mosquito treated nets can also help to reduce mosquitoes population and malaria transmission respectively.

The Impact of Consumption on an Investor’s Strategy under Stochastic Interest Rate and Correlating Brownian Motions
In this work, we consider that an investor’s portfolio comprises of two assets- a risk-free asset driven by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Stochastic interest rate of return model and the second asset a risky stock with a price proc...
Effect of Physical and Virtual Manipulatives on the Mathematical Achievement of Junior High School Students in the Topic of Transformation in Ghana
There is a general perception that mathematics is difficult and many Junior High school students seem to struggle through mathematics lessons. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physical (using ma...
The General Subclasses of the Analytic Functions and Their Various Properties
The object of the present paper is to introduce and investigate two new general subclasses S* C(α, β; γ) and TS* C(α, β; γ) (α, β ∈ [0,1), γ ∈ [0, 1]) of the analytic functions. Here, we givesucient conditions as well as...
On the Symmetric Genus of K-metacyclic Group and Its Presentations
The symmetric genus of a finite group G is defined as the smallest genus of a compact connected oriented surface on which G acts faithfully via diffeomorphisms, which may be orientation-preserving or orientation-reserv...
