(Elsevier, 2023-02-25)Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Cryptosporidium. The disease poses a public and veterinary health problem worldwide. A deterministic model and its corresponding continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) stochastic ... -
Modeling Diet Decisions for People Living with HIV in Consideration of Age, Weight, Height, and Gender Constraints
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2015)People living with HIV as well as AIDS patients, who do not receive proper and timely medical treatment, are open targets for all kinds of other infections owing mainly to their relatively weak immune systems. We emphasizes ... -
Modeling malaria sensitive and resistant strains with superinfection
(Communications in Mathematical Biology and Neuroscience, 2019-03-08)In this paper, a deterministic model to examine the dynamics of malaria with sensitive and resistant strains in the presence of superinfection is formulated and presented. The basic reproduction is computed using next-generation ... -
Modeling non-stationarity in extreme rainfall data and implications for climate adaptation: A case study from southern highlands region of Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2024-09)The Southern Highlands region of Tanzania has witnessed an increased frequency of severe flash floods. This study examines rainfall data of four stations (Iringa, Mbeya, Rukwa, and Ruvuma) spanning 30 years (1991–2020) to ... -
Modeling nosocomial infection of COVID-19 transmission dynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-06)COVID-19 epidemic has posed an unprecedented threat to global public health. The disease has alarmed the healthcare system with the harm of nosocomial infection. Nosocomial spread of COVID-19 has been discovered and ... -
Modeling the dynamics of Diamondback Moth infestations on cabbage biomass
