Mathematical model for brucellosis transmission dynamics in livestock and human populations
(Communications in Mathematical Biology and Neuroscience, 2020-01-29)Brucellosis is a contagious zoonotic infection caused by bacteria of genus brucella which affects humans and animals. The disease is of veterinary importance, public health concern and economic significance in both developed ... -
A mathematical model for fall armyworm management on maize biomass
(Springer Nature, 2021-02-04)Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a highly destructive and fast spreading agricultural pest native to North and South America, poses a real threat to global food security. In this paper, to explore the dynamics and ... -
Mathematical Model for Optimal Control of Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infection
(Hindawi, 2020-08-01)In this paper, we study the dynamics of soil-transmitted helminth infection. We formulate and analyse a deterministic compartmental model using nonlinear differential equations. The basic reproduction number is obtained ... -
Mathematical model for the effects of treatment and vaccination controls on the dynamics of rotavirus disease with reference to Uganda
(SCIK Publishing Corporation, 2014)In this paper, while Rotavirus has been a recognised disease for a long time in developing countries like Uganda, the control of this endemic disease is still a challenge. We formulated a mathematical model for the dynamics ... -
Mathematical model for the infectiology of brucellosis with some control strategies
(BISKA Bilisim Technology, 2019-12-25)Brucellosis is a neglected zoonotic infection caused by gram-negative bacteria of genus brucella. In this paper, a deterministic mathematical model for the infectiology of brucellosis with vaccination of ruminants, culling ... -
A mathematical model for the MLND dynamics and Sensitivity analysis in a maize population
(Asian Journal of Mathematics and Applications, 2017)Maize Lethal Necrosis disease (MLND) is a viral disease that can cause fatal damage to the crop of maize plants. This is very common in East Africa countries and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In this manuscript, a ... -
Mathematical Model for the Transmission Dynamics of Bovine Tuberculosis in Human and Livestock with Control Strategies
(International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (ijasre), 2019-10)A deterministic mathematical model for bovine tuberculosis (bovine TB) in humans and livestock is formulated and used to assess the effectiveness of dairy products inspection, human treatment and quarantine of infected ... -
A Mathematical Model for Transmission of Taeniasis and Neurocysticercosis
(Hindawi, 2024-03-11)In this study, we present a mathematical model for the codynamics of taeniasis and neurocysticercosis and rigorously analyze it. To understand the underlying dynamics of the proposed model, basic system properties such ... -
