Abstract:A fractional-order cholera model in the Caputo sense is constructed. The model is an extension of the Susceptible–Infected–Recovered (SIR) epidemic model. The transmission dynamics of the disease are studied by incorporating the saturated incidence rate into the model. This is particularly important since assuming that the increase in incidence for a large number of infected individualsis equivalent to a small number of infected individualsdoes not make much sense. The positivity, boundedness, existence, and u… Show more
“…Two articles in this Special Issue focus on the modeling of infection transmission dynamics. The article by Isa Abdullahi Baba et al presents a fractional-order cholera model that is an extension of the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered epidemic model [8]. The model incorporates the saturated incidence rate to accurately represent the transmission dynamics of the disease.…”
