| Abstract: | In this paper a Mathematical model was proposed for measles disease dynamics. The model is a system of first order ordinary differential equations with three compartments: Susceptible S(t); Infected I(t) and Recovered R(t). The equilibrium state for both Disease Free and Endemic equilibrium are obtained. Conditions for stability of the Disease Free and Endemic equilibrium are obtained from characteristics equation and Bellman and Cooke theorem respectively. The hypothetical values were used to analyze the Endemic Equilibrium and the result was presented in tabular form. The results from the Disease Free and Endemic Equilibrium state showed that once the epidemic breaks out, the population cannot sustain it. |
