| Abstract: | In this research work, we develop and analyse a deterministic model for controlling the spread of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in a population with vital dynamics (birth and death rates are not equal), incorporating quarantining of infectious individuals which is influenced by availability of isolation centres and surveillance coverage We also considered improved personal hygiene of the susceptible population influenced by public enlightenment campaign. Numerical simulations showed that improved personal hygiene and quarantining of infectious individuals are enough to control the spread of EVD, with improved personal hygiene being the more effective and efficient of the two control parameters |
