SEI-model for transmission of Nipah virus
Abstract
Nipah virus (NiV) has drawn attention as an emerging infectious disease in Southeast Asia. It has become one of the most alarming threats of the public health mainly due to its periodic outbreaks and the high mortality rate. In the present work, the transmission of NiV using SEI-model is analysed through the system of non-linear differential equations. In addition, the reproduction number is attained which signifies the intensity of NiV outbreak. The local and global stability of equilibrium points is studied. Numerical simulation illustrates the behavior and flow of NiV infections in different compartments.
