Modeling the Endemic Equilibrium of Typhoid Fever

Influence of awareness programs by media in the typhoid fever: a study based on mathematical modeling

In this paper, we propose and analyze a mathematical model describing the effect of awareness programs by public media on the prevalence of Typhoid fever. A threshold quantity $R_{0}$, similar to the basic reproduction number is derived. We investigate the biologically meaningful equilibrium points and their local stability analysis. The global stability analysis has been performed with respect...

An epitome of the first two lectures was given at pp. 276, 277 of The Indian Medical Gazette for July. The last lecture deals with the agglutinating reaction, its history, technique, persistence and prognosis ...

Typhoid Fever and Typhoid Carriers

Typhoid Fever

Between one and five percent of travelers from industrialized countries to the developing world seek medical attention during or immediately after their travel.1 International travelers who present to the emergency department (ED) with fever pose a unique challenge to the emergency physician (EP). In addition to the usual causes of fever, the EP must consider less common diseases in the differe...
