Mathematical Analysis and Parameter Estimation of a Two-Patch Zika Model
Abstract:In this paper, we developed a multi-patch model for the spread of Zika virus infection taking, into account direct and indirect transmissions along with vertical transmission. The model was analyzed to gain insights into the disease's spread. The model was tted to a data set collected from two neighboring countries, Brazil and Colombia, to estimate some of its parameters and use it for calculating ℜ 0 and sensitivity analysis. Our results show that ℜ 0 is less than one in both countries, which indicates that t… Show more
