Sensitivity Analysis for the Mathematical Modeling Transmission and Control of Rabies Incorporating Vaccination Class

Abstract

In this paper, the Disease Free Equilibrium (DFE) of the model was obtained. The Basic Reproduction Number R0 was also computed and used to carry out the sensitivity analysis. The analysis revealed the sensitive parameters for the spread and control of Rabies. It was also shown that the contact rate of dogs and the vaccination rate of dogs are the most sensitive parameters to increase and decrease the transmission of rabies. The reproduction number was presented graphically against the sensitive parameters.
