Mathematical epidemiology of malaria disease transmission and its optimal control analyses
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)In this thesis, we present and analyse an SEIR (susceptible-exposed infectious-recovered) model for malaria disease transmission. The model consists treatment and control strategies such as the use of bed nets and spray ... -
A mathematical modeling of optimal vaccination strategies in epidemiology
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)We review a number of compartmental models in epidemiology which leads to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. We focus an SIR, SEIR and SIS epidemic models with and without vaccination. A threshold ... -
