This follows a slight modification as compared to previous cholera models for the Nigerian case. Our model incorporates treatment, water hygiene as well as environmental sanitation. The model employs a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which is analyzed in detail for its stability properties. We compute the basic reproduction ratio <em>R</em><sub>0</sub> for the various control parameters and discover that with proper combination of control measures, the spread of cholera could be minimized. Numerical simulation of the cholera model is done using MathCAD14, and the graphical profiles of the main variables are depicted. We conclude that improvement in treatment, water hygiene and the environmental sanitation is indeed effective in eradicating the cholera epidemic.展开更多

Necessary and sufficient conditions for local and global asymptotic stability of the equilibria are established by Routh Hurwitz criterium, Lyapunov function, and the second additive composite matrix theorem. What is more, exploiting the DED is cover simulation tool, the parameter values of the model are estimated with the 1998-2021 cholera case data in China. Finally, we perform sensitivity analysis for the basic reproduction number to seek for effective interventions for cholera control. .展开更多

By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local asymptotically stability of a disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium is established. We calculate the certain threshold known as the basic reproduction number Rv. If Rv the community. By comparison arguments, it is proved that if Rv > 1, the unique endemic equilibrium is local asymptotically stable. We perform sensitivity analysis of Rv on the parameters in order to determine their relative importance to disease control and show that an imperfect vaccine is always beneficial in reducing disease spread within the community.展开更多

We determine a basic reproduction number R0 which is chosen based on the relative ODE model, and establish that the global dynamics are determined by the threshold value R0. If R0 〈 1, then the infection-free equilibrium is global asymptotically stable, that is, the cholera dies out; If R0 〉 1, then the unique endemic equilibrium is global asymptotically stable, which means that the infection persists. The results obtained show that the delay does not lead to periodic oscillations. Finally, some numerical simulations support our theoretical results.展开更多
