Modelling And Control Of Cholera On Networks With A Common Water Source

Keywords

cholera; common water source; disease control strategy; global stability; target reproduction number

Abstract

A mathematical model is formulated for the transmission and spread of cholera in a heterogeneous host population that consists of several patches of homogeneous host populations sharing a common water source. The basic reproduction number ℛ0 is derived and shown to determine whether or not cholera dies out. Explicit formulas are derived for target/type reproduction numbers that measure the control strategies required to eradicate cholera from all patches.
