Determining Sensitive Parameters in the Transmission Dynamics of Malaria Disease Using Mathematical Model Approach

Abstract

The challenge posed by malaria disease calls for an urgent need for a better understanding of important parameters in the disease transmission and development of prevention and control of the spread of malaria disease. In this work, a mathematical model for the dynamics of malaria disease is developed and analyzed. There is existence of disease free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium point of the model, the local stability of disease free equilibrium is obtained using Jacobian matrix which is locally asymptotically stable whenever the basic reproduction number is less than unity. Finally, the results obtained in Table 2, Figure 6 and Figure 8 from sensitivity analysis reveal that malaria disease can be controlled if the biting rate of mosquito is eliminated in the population.
