We proposed and solved a combined control malaria system of fifteen ordinary differential equations modeling the transmission dynamics of malaria between humans and mosquitoes. Since our aim is to minimize the number of exposed and infectious human, we discussed the disease free equilibrium and estimated the basic reproduction number using the next generation matrix method. The disease free equilibrium was asymptotically stable when the reproduction number is less than one and unstable when it is greater than one. Numerical results are provided using matlab software to confirm the analyzed results. Our findings were that malaria may be controlled using the combined control method, the insecticide treated bed nets, fumigation of the surroundings and active malaria drug as this will reduce the contact rate between human and mosquito through reduction in mosquito population and malaria transmission.
We designed a simulation of an intracellular differential equation model of the dynamics of malaria with immune control and treatment which considered malaria parasites in the liver and blood. We considered transmission dynamics of malaria and the interaction between the infection in the liver and blood. The disease free equilibrium of our model was asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number is less than one and unstable when it is greater than one. Numerical simulations show that if the immune response is strong with effective treatment, malaria infection will be cleared from an infectious human host. A treatment strategy using highly effective drugs against malaria parasites with strong immune response can reduce malaria progression and control the disease.
