Stability Analysis of Endemic Equilibrium Points of Malaria and Dengue Fever Co-infection Model

Abstract

Malaria-dengue co-infection is becoming a public health challenge with the growing report of the co-infection. Much has been done on analyzing malaria, dengue, and other infection but much has not been done to study the co infection of malaria and dengue fever. A mathematical model to understand the transmission of malaria and dengue infection was formulated using a system of ordinary differential equations. We computed the basic reproduction number and establish the equilibria point. The endemic equilibrium point was further investigated. The result shows that with the reproduction number greater than one, the endemic equilibrium point was found to be locally asymptotically stable and globally asymptotically stable
