dc.description.abstract | We formulate an SIS model describing transmission of highland malaria in
Western Kenya, the host population is classified as children, age 1- 5 years
and adults, above 5 years. The susceptibility and infectivity of an individual
depends on age class and residence. The large scale system with 6n equations
is reduced into a compact form of 3n equations by a change of variables. Then
3n equations are vectorialized using matrix theory to get a one dimension,
compact form of the system, equation in ]R3n. Using Vidyasagar theorem
[1], the graph of the reduced system is shown to be strongly connected and.................... | en_US |
