Infection with this virus is rarely associated with clinical disease but reactivating the virus in people who have a suppressed immune system can cause kidney or bladder damage. Due to the importance of activating the BK virus in s...
متن کاملA theoretical model for Zika virus transmission
In this paper, we present and analyze an SEIR Zika epidemic model. Firstly, we investigate the model with constant controls. The steady states of the model is found to be locally and globally asymptotically stable. Thereafter, we incorporate time dependent controls into the model in order to investigate the optimal effects of bednets, treatments of infective and spray of insecticides on the dis...
متن کاملمروری جامع بر عفونت ویروس زیکا

There is no specific drug available for Zika virus infection, and treatment is supportive based on reducing symptoms of disease. Protection against mosquito bites is the most effective way to prevent the infection...
