چکیده

In this paper, an SIS model for bacterial infectious diseases, like tuberculosis, typhoid, etc., caused by direct contact of susceptibles with infectives as well as by bacteria is proposed and analyzed. Here the demography of the human population is constant immigration and the cumulative rate of the environmental discharges is a function of total human population. Further this model is extended to the model for socially structured population (rich and poor) where poor people work as service provider in the houses of rich people but do not settle in the habitat of rich people. It is assumed that bacteria population does not survive in the clean environment of rich people and only affects the population in the degraded environment of the poor class. The stability of the equilibria is studied by using the theory of differential equation and computer simulation. It is concluded that the spread of the infectious disease increases when the growth of bacteria caused by conducive environmental discharge due to human sources increases. Also the spread of the infectious disease in rich class increases due to the interaction with service providers, who are living in relatively poor environmental condition, suggesting the need to keep our environment clean all around. 2003 Elsevier Inc.

Modeling the Effect of Environmental Factors on the Spread of Bacterial Disease in an Economically Structured Population

We have proposed and analyzed a nonlinear mathematical model for the spread of bacterial disease in an economically structured population (rich and poor) including the role of vaccination. It is assumed that rich susceptible get infected through direct contact with infectives in the same class and with infectives from the poor class who work as service providers in the houses of rich people, li...
