In this paper, a model for direct and indirect transmission dynamics of typhoid fever with three control interventions is analyzed. Optimal control strategies are proposed to minimize both the disease burden and the intervention cost. We proved the existence and uniqueness of optimal control paths and obtained these optimal paths analytically using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. We analyzed our results numerically to compare various strategies of proposed controls. It is observed that the implementation of the three controls among all strategies is most successful. Thus, we conclude that in order to reduce typhoid fever threat, all the three controls must be taken into consideration concurrently.

In this paper, we used data released by Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) every 24 hours for the past consecutive two months to forecast the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases for the months (September – October 2020). The linear regression forecasting model and R software package are used for the forecast and simulations respectively. The COVID-19 cases in Nigeria is on a decreasing trend and the forecast result show that in the next two months, there is going to be a decrease in new COVID-19 cases in Nigeria. COVID-19 in Nigeria can be drastically reduced if the organizations, management, government or policymakers are constantly proactive concerning these research findings.

In this paper, we formulate a deterministic mathematical model to describe the transmission dynamics of typhoid fever by incorporating some control strategies. In order to study the impact of these control strategies on the dynamics of typhoid fever, the model captures vaccination and educational campaign as control variables. We show that the model is mathematically and epidemiologically well positioned in a biologically feasible region in human populations. We carry out a detailed analysis to determine the basic reproduction number necessary for the control of the disease. The optimal control strategies are used to minimize the infected carriers and infected individuals and the adverse side effects of one or more of the control strategies. We derive a control problem and the conditions for optimal control of the disease using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle and it was shown that an optimal control exists for the proposed model. The optimality system is solved numerically, the numerical simulation of the model shows that possible optimal control strategies become more effective in the control and containment of typhoid fever when vaccination and educational campaign are combined optimally would reduce the spread of the disease.
Stability and optimal control analysis of an SCIR epidemic model

In this paper, we proposed a deterministic model of SCIR governed by a system of nonlinear differential equations. Two equilibria (disease-free and endemic) are obtained and the basic reproduction number R0 is calculated. If R0 is less than one, then the disease-free equilibrium state is globally stable i.e. the disease will be eradicated eventually. However, when R0 is greater than unity, the disease persists and the endemic equilibrium point is globally stable. Furthermore, the optimal control problem is applied into the model. The focus of this study is to determine what control method can be implemented to significantly slow the incidence of the epidemic disease, therefore we take into account various possible combinations of such three controls which are prevention via proper hygiene, screening of the infected carriers which enable them to know their health conditions and to go for early treatment and treatment of the infected individuals. The possible strategies of using combinations of the three controls on the spread of the disease, one at a time or two at a time is also discussed. Our numerical analysis of the optimal approach suggests that the best method is to incorporate all three controls in order to control the disease epidemic.
