A new model for the transmission dynamics ofMycobacterium tuberculosisand bovine tuberculosis in a community, consisting of humans and African buffalos, is presented. The buffalo-only component of the model exhibits the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, which arises due to the reinfection of exposed and recovered buffalos, when the associated reproduction number is less than unity. This model has a unique endemic equilibrium, which is globally asymptotically stable for a special case, when the reproduction number exceeds unity. Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses, using data relevant to the dynamics of the two diseases in the Kruger National Park, show that the distribution of the associated reproduction number is less than unity (hence, the diseases would not persist in the community). Crucial parameters that influence the dynamics of the two diseases are also identified. Both the buffalo-only and the buffalo-human model exhibit the same qualitative dynamics with respect to the local and global asymptotic stability of their respective disease-free equilibrium, as well as with respect to the backward bifurcation phenomenon. Numerical simulations of the buffalo-human model show that the cumulative number ofMycobacterium tuberculosiscases in humans (buffalos) decreases with increasing number of bovine tuberculosis infections in humans (buffalo).

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of tuberculosis with two treatments and exogenous re-infection, in which the treatment is effective for a number of infectious individuals and it fails for some other infectious individuals who are being treated. We show that the model exhibits the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, where a stable disease-free equilibrium coexists with a stable endemic equilibria when the related basic reproduction number is less than unity. Also, it is shown that under certain conditions the model cannot exhibit backward bifurcation. Furthermore, it is shown in the absence of re-infection, the backward bifurcation phenomenon does not exist, in which the disease-free equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable when the associated reproduction number is less than unity. The global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium, when the associated reproduction number is greater than unity, is established using the geometric approach. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our main results.

Malware remains a significant threat to computer network.  In this paper, we consideredthe problem which computer malware cause to personal computers with its control by proposing a compartmental model SVEIRS (Susceptible Vaccinated-Exposed-infected-Recovered-Susceptible) for malware transmission in computer network using nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Through the analysis of the model, the basic reproduction number  were obtained, and the malware free equilibrium was proved to be locally asymptotical stable if  is less than unity and globally asymptotically stable if Ro is less than some threshold using a Lyapunov function. Also, the unique endemic equilibrium exists under certain conditions and the model underwent backward bifurcation phenomenon. To illustrate our theoretical analysis, some numerical simulation of the system was performed with RungeKutta fourth order (KR4) method in Mathlab. This was used in analyzing the behavior of different compartments of the model and the results showed that vaccination and treatment is very essential for malware control.

AbstractIn this study, we develop a nonlinear ordinary differential equation to study the dynamics of syphilis transmission incorporating controls, namely prevention and treatment of the infected males and females. We obtain syphilis-free equilibrium (SFE) and syphilis-present equilibrium (SPE). We obtain the basic reproduction number, which can be used to control the transmission of the disease, and thus establish the conditions for local and global stability of the syphilis-free equilibrium. The stability results show that the model is locally asymptotically stable if the Routh–Hurwitz criteria are satisfied and globally asymptotically stable. The bifurcation analysis result reveals that the model exhibits backward bifurcation. We adopted Pontryagin’s maximum principle to determine the optimality system for the syphilis model, which was solved numerically to show that syphilis transmission can be optimally best control using a combination of condoms usage and treatment in the primary stage of infection in both infected male and female populations.

The distribution of HIV and malaria overlap globally. So there is always a chance of co-infection. In this paper the impact of medication on HIV-Malaria co-infection has been analyzed and we have developed a mathematical model using the idea of the models of Mukandavire, et al. [13] and Barley, et al. [3] where treatment classes are included. The disease-free equilibrium (DFE) of the HIV-only model is globally-asymptotically stable (GAS) when the reproduction number is less than one. But it is shown that in the malaria-only model, there is a coexistence of stable disease-free equilibrium and stable endemic equilibrium, for a certain interval of the reproduction number less than unity. This indicates the existence of backward bifurcation. Numerical simulations of the full model are performed to determine the impact of treatment strategies. It is shown that malaria-only treatment strategy reduces more new cases of the mixed infection than the HIV-only treatment strategy. Moreover, mixed treatment strategy reduces the least number of new cases compared to single treatment strategies. GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc.Vol. 39 (2019) 45-62

In this paper, an epidemic model of a vector-borne disease, namely, malaria, is considered. The explicit expression of the basic reproduction number is obtained, the local and global asymptotical stability of the disease-free equilibrium is proved under certain conditions. It is shown that the model exhibits the phenomenon of backward bifurcation where the stable disease-free equilibrium coexists with a stable endemic equilibrium. Further, it is proved that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under certain conditions.

A new deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of human papillomavirus (HPV) and related cancers, in the presence of the Gardasil vaccine (which targets four HPV types), is presented. In the absence of routine vaccination in the community, the model is shown to undergo the phenomenon of backward bifurcation. This phenomenon, which has important consequences on the feasibility of effective disease control in the community, arises due to the re-infection of recovered individuals. For the special case when backward bifurcation does not occur, the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) of the model is shown to be globally-asymptotically stable (GAS) if the associated reproduction number is less than unity. The model with vaccination is also rigorously analyzed. Numerical simulations of the model with vaccination show that, with the assumed 90% efficacy of the Gardasil vaccine, the effective community-wide control of the four Gardasil-preventable HPV types is feasible if the Gardasil coverage rate is high enough (in the range 78–88%).

In this article, a Susceptible – Vaccinated – Infected – Recovered (SVIR) model is formulated and analysed using comprehensive mathematical techniques. The vaccination class is primarily considered as means of controlling the disease spread. The basic reproduction number (Ro) of the model is obtained, where it was shown that if Ro<1, at the model equilibrium solutions when infection is present and absent, the infection- free equilibrium is both locally and globally asymptotically stable. Also, if Ro>1, the endemic equilibrium solution is locally asymptotically stable. Furthermore, the analytical solution of the model was carried out using the Differential Transform Method (DTM) and Runge - Kutta fourth-order method. Numerical simulations were carried out to validate the theoretical results.

AbstractWe established a stochastic individual-based model and simulated the whole process of occurrence, development, and control of the coronavirus disease epidemic and the infectors and patients leaving Hubei Province before the traffic was closed in China. Additionally, the basic reproduction number (R0) and number of infectors and patients who left Hubei were estimated using the coordinate descent algorithm. The median R0 at the initial stage of the epidemic was 4.97 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.82–5.17). Before the traffic lockdown was implemented in Hubei, 2000 (95% CI 1982–2030) infectors and patients had left Hubei and traveled throughout the country. The model estimated that if the government had taken prevention and control measures 1 day later, the cumulative number of laboratory-confirmed patients in the whole country would have increased by 32.1%. If the lockdown of Hubei was imposed 1 day in advance, the cumulative number of laboratory-confirmed patients in other provinces would have decreased by 7.7%. The stochastic model could fit the officially issued data well and simulate the evolution process of the epidemic. The intervention measurements nationwide have effectively curbed the human-to-human transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

AbstractWe present a compartmental population model for the spread of Zika virus disease including sexual and vectorial transmission as well as asymptomatic carriers. We apply a non-autonomous model with time-dependent mosquito birth, death and biting rates to integrate the impact of the periodicity of weather on the spread of Zika. We define the basic reproduction number $${\mathscr {R}}_{0}$$ R 0 as the spectral radius of a linear integral operator and show that the global dynamics is determined by this threshold parameter: If $${\mathscr {R}}_0 < 1,$$ R 0 < 1 , then the disease-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable, while if $${\mathscr {R}}_0 > 1,$$ R 0 > 1 , then the disease persists. We show numerical examples to study what kind of parameter changes might lead to a periodic recurrence of Zika.
