Abstract
A deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of SIRS-type malaria in hosts and SI in mosquito populations is proposed. The host population is differentiated between naive, primary, and secondary susceptible individuals. Primary and secondary infected individuals (and also recovered) are differentiated from each other according to their degree of infectiousness. The impact of changing the relative susceptibilities of primary and secondary (with respect to naive) susceptible individuals on the dynamics is investigated. Also, the impact of changing the relative infectiousness of secondary infected, primary, and secondary recovered individuals (with respect to primary infected) on the transmission dynamics of malaria is studied.
