Mathematical Analysis of the role of Information on the Dynamics of Typhoid Fever

TL;DR

This paper develops a mathematical model to analyze how information influences Typhoid Fever transmission, revealing that poor adherence to health precautions driven by misinformation can increase disease spread.

Contribution

It introduces a deterministic model linking information dissemination to Typhoid dynamics, emphasizing the importance of public education in disease control.

Findings

Information can increase disease transmission when adherence to precautions is low.

Poor health compliance correlates with higher Typhoid cases.

Public education is crucial for effective disease prevention.

Abstract

This study presents a deterministic model to examine how information affects the spread of Typhoid Fever. The models properties, including its stability and basic reproduction number, are analyzed. Simulations show that information can influence behavior in ways that may increase disease transmission. Nota bly, the rise in Typhoid cases is linked to poor adherence to health precautions. The findings highlight the critical role of public education in controlling the disease and emphasize the need to include information campaigns in preven tion strategies.
