    On the Dynamical Analysis of a Deterministic Typhoid Fever Infection Model
    (Transactions of NAMP, 2017-11) F. A. Oguntolu; G. Gbolarin; S. O. Jaiyeola; O. M. Adetutu
    In this paper, we develop a deterministic model of typhoid fever. The existence and uniqueness of solutions of the model were examined by actual solutions. Mathematical analysis is carried out to determine the transmission dynamics of typhoid in a community. We conduct local stability analysis for the model. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium which is locally asymptotically stable if R0 < 1 and unstable if R0 >1.

    Modelling and optimal control analysis of Lassa fever disease

    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.

    Population dynamics of a mathematical model for Campylobacteriosis
    (Proceedings of International Conference on Mathematical Modelling Optimization and Analysis of Disease Dynamics (ICMMOADD), 2024-02-22) Ashezua, T. T.; Salemkaan, M. T.; Somma, Samuel Abu
    The bacterium campylobacter is the cause of campylobacteriosis, a major cause of foodborne illness that goes by the most common name for diarrheal illnesses. This paper develops and analyzes a new mathematical model for campylobacteriosis. It is demonstrated that in cases where the corresponding reproduction number is smaller than unity, the model's disease-free equilibrium is both locally and globally stable. The numerical simulation results indicate that increasing the treatment rate for both symptomatic and asymptomatic disease-infected individuals resulted in a decrease in the number of asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals, respectively, and a rise in the population's number of recovered individuals.
