Review Of Mathematical Models Of Malaria

Dr Pmp Singh, Dr Rajiva

Abstract :

Epidemiologists have widely used various mathematical models as tools to predict the occurrence of infectious diseases epidemics. Mathematical models have also been utilised as a tool for guiding research for eradication of malaria.. Mosquito density (m), biting rate (a) and mosquito mortality rate (μ2) are the various parameters which are of prime importance in determining the fraction of human population that will enter into the exposed (E) and infected (I) classes. R0 is the measure of the intensity of transmission. Dietz et al pioneered a model considering seven compartments of human. Chitnis et al incorporated another important parameter of constant immigration of susceptible human population. The effects of migration and visitation on malaria transmission were demonstrated by Torres-Sorando and Rodriguez. In this review, the workers have made an attempt to group the various epidemiological models of malaria in terms of the complexity of infection processes included in its description, with a view to make them more realistic. The workers would like to strongly recommend to develop connections between mathematical analysis and their real world implications. Such analyses may help us to comprehend the effect of temperature, seasonal forcing, excessive rainfall; and correlation between different variables and parameter changes.
