    (Elsevier BV, 2020) Olumuyiwa James Peter; Adesoye Idowu Abioye; Festus Abiodun Oguntolu; Titilayo Abimbola Owolabi; Michael Oyelami Ajisope; Abdullaziz Glabe Zakari; Timilehin Gideon Shaba
    Lassa fever is a severe hemorrhagic viral infection whose agents belong to Mastomys natelensis. Generally, humans contract Lassa virus through exposure to food or household products that have been contaminated with the excreta of the infected rodents. Lassa fever is endemic in some West African countries including Nigeria. A basic model is proposed to examine the transmission of the disease. The proposed model is subjected to qualitative study via the theory of differential equations and the threshold quantity that denotes the dominant eigenvalue was derived using next-generation matrix approach. The basic model is further extended to an optimal control model with four controls namely, the fumigation of the environment with pesticide, the use of condom to prevent human to human transmission during sexual activities, early treatment and the use of indoor residual spray. The theory of optimal control was explored to establish the necessary conditions for curtailing the transmission of Lassa fever. Numerical simulation was conducted and the results showed that if the Lassa fever transmission and spread were to be reduced significantly in the endemic region, all the control measures must be taken with all seriousness.

    The novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease caused by a new strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this work, we proposed a mathematical model of COVID-19. We carried out the qualitative analysis along with an epidemic indicator which is the basic reproduction number () of this model, stability analysis of COVID-19 free equilibrium (CFE) and Endemic equilibrium (EE) using Lyaponuv function are considered. We extended the basic model into optimal control system by incorporating three control strategies. These are; use of face-mask and hand sanitizer along with social distancing; treatment of COVID-19 patients and active screening with testing and the third control is prevention against recurrence and reinfection of humans who have recovered from COVID-19. Daily data given by Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) in Nigeria is used for simulation of the proposed COVID-19 model to see the effects of the control measures. The biological interpretation of this findings is that, COVID-19 can be effectively managed or eliminated in Nigeria if the control measures implemented are capable of taking or sustaining the basic reproductive number to a value below unity. If the three control strategies are well managed by the government namely; NCDC, Presidential Task Force (PTF) and Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) or policymakers, then COVID-19 in Nigeria will be eradicated.

    Fractional order of pneumococcal pneumonia infection model with Caputo Fabrizio operator
    (Elsevier BV, 2021-10) Olumuyiwa James Peter; Abdullahi Yusuf; Kayode Oshinubi; Festus Abiodun Oguntolu; John Oluwasegun Lawal; Adesoye Idowu Abioye; Tawakalt Abosede Ayoola
    In this study, we present the Pneumococcal Pneumonia infection model using fractional order derivatives in the Caputo-Fabrizio sense. We use fixed-point theory to prove the existence of the solution and investigate the uniqueness of the model variables. The fractional Adams-Bashforth method is used to compute an iterative solution to the model. Finally, using the model parameter values to explain the importance of the arbitrary fractional order derivative, the numerical results are presented.

    Modelling and optimal control analysis of typhoid fever
    (SCIK Publishing Corporation, 2021-08-19) Tawakalt Abosede Ayoola; Helen Olaronke Edogbanya; Olumuyiwa James Peter; Festus Abiodun Oguntolu; Kayode Oshinubi; Mutiu Lawal Olaosebikan
    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.

    Transmission dynamics of Monkeypox virus: a mathematical modelling approach
    (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-10-15) Olumuyiwa James Peter; Sumit Kumar; Nitu Kumari; Festus Abiodun Oguntolu; Kayode Oshinubi; Rabiu Musa
    Monkeypox (MPX), similar to both smallpox and cowpox, is caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV). It occurs mostly in remote Central and West African communities, close to tropical rain forests. It is caused by the monkeypox virus in the Poxviridae family, which belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus. We develop and analyse a deterministic mathematical model for the monkeypox virus. Both local and global asymptotic stability conditions for disease-free and endemic equilibria are determined. It is shown that the model undergo backward bifurcation, where the locally stable disease-free equilibrium co-exists with an endemic equilibrium. Furthermore, we determine conditions under which the disease-free equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical simulations to demonstrate our findings and brief discussions are provided. The findings indicate that isolation of infected individuals in the human population helps to reduce disease transmission.

    Mathematical model on the transmission dynamics of leptospirosis in human and animal population with optimal control strategies using real statistical data
    (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-12-07) Festus Abiodun Oguntolu; Olumuyiwa James Peter; Benjamin Idoko Omede; Ghaniyyat Bolanle Balogun; Tawakalt Abosede Ayoola
    Leptospirosis poses a significant public health challenge, with a growing incidence in both human and animal populations. The complex interplay between reservoir hosts, environmental factors, and human activities complicates efforts to curb the spread of the disease. Consequently, this paper presents a deterministic mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of leptospirosis within the intertwined human and animal populations. A comprehensive examination of the model revealed that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number is below one. Utilizing center manifold theory, we demonstrated that the Leptospirosis model displays forward bifurcation. Consequently, the epidemiological significance of this forward bifurcation suggests that eradicating leptospirosis from the community is feasible, provided the reproduction number remains below one. We conducted a sensitivity analysis on the basic reproduction number of Leptospirosis to identify parameters that contribute positively to the disease’s spread. Furthermore, We validated our Leptospirosis model by fitting it with confirmed cases reported in Kerala State, India, covering the period from January 2021 to December 2022. This calibration process ensures the model’s accuracy and reliability in reflecting real-world epidemiological dynamics within the specified region and timeframe. In addition, we enhanced the Leptospirosis model by incorporating three time-dependent control measures. These controls encompass the vaccination of animals, environmental sanitation, and preventive actions such as using hand gloves and goggles when handling animals, as well as wearing rubber boots during periods of flooding or heavy rainfall. Results obtained from numerical simulations indicate that implementing the vaccination of animals as a standalone control strategy has no discernible effect on the number of infected humans or the bacteria population. However, when the three time-dependent control measures are combined, there is a substantial and meaningful impact on reducing the number of infected humans, infected animals, and the overall bacteria population within a relatively short timeframe. This underscores the effectiveness of the integrated approach in mitigating the spread of leptospirosis across both human and animal populations.

    A fractional-order mathematical model for malaria and COVID-19 co-infection dynamics
    (Elsevier BV, 2023-12) Adesoye Idowu Abioye; Olumuyiwa James Peter; Hammed Abiodun Ogunseye; Festus Abiodun Oguntolu; Tawakalt Abosede Ayoola; Asimiyu Olalekan Oladapo
    This study proposes a fractional-order mathematical model for malaria and COVID-19 co-infection using the Atangana–Baleanu Derivative. We explain the various stages of the diseases together in humans and mosquitoes, and we also establish the existence and uniqueness of the fractional order co-infection model solution using the fixed point theorem. We conduct the qualitative analysis along with an epidemic indicator, the basic reproduction number R0 of this model. We investigate the global stability at the disease and endemic free equilibrium of the malaria-only, COVID-19-only, and co-infection models. We run different simulations of the fractional-order co-infection model using a two-step Lagrange interpolation polynomial approximate method with the aid of the Maple software package. The results reveal that reducing the risk of malaria and COVID-19 by taking preventive measures will reduce the risk factor for getting COVID-19 after contracting malaria and will also reduce the risk factor for getting malaria after contracting COVID-19 even to the point of extinction.

    A non-linear differential equation model of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza co-infection dynamics under vaccination strategy and immunity waning
    (Elsevier BV, 2023-12) Rabiu Musa; Olumuyiwa James Peter; Festus Abiodun Oguntolu
    This study presents a mathematical model of the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 and influenza co-infection. The potential impacts of the influenza vaccine only on the co-infection dynamics and the potential impacts of both vaccines on the co-infection dynamics are thoroughly studied. The basic reproduction number for the two diseases using the next-generation matrix approach and the stability of the sub-model is examined. The model assessed the scenario whereby both diseases’ waning immunity occurs concurrently to check the epidemic peaks. The numerical simulation results show that the diseases would continue to be endemic in the population if the immunity waning rates increase. The epidemic peak can be reduced by increasing vaccination and vaccine efficacy rates. The results show that the COVID-19 contact rate significantly increases the epidemic level more than the co-infection contact rate. A similar result was obtained when it was observed that the COVID-19 post-recovery waning rate has more significant effects on the epidemic peak than the co-infection post-recovery waning rate. A possible reason for this counter-intuitive occurrence is that two infections cannot have the same viral load nor the same within-host competitiveness. This means an infectious co-infected person will transmit the infection with the highest within-host competitiveness. Here, it is suspected that COVID-19 has a within-host competitive advantage over influenza in the co-dynamics.
