Acute diarrhea disease has a greater threat to human population especially in poor sanitary or hygienic environments, which caused enormous mortality and mobility in the Society. In this paper, we proposed a model to describe the transmission of the acute diarrhea disease and optimal control strategies in a community. The reproduction number and global dynamics of the model are obtained. Global Stability of the Disease free and endemic state of the model equations is determined. It was found that, the Disease Free Equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in feasible region Ω if R0≤1 and Endemic state is globally asymptotically stable when R0>1. The Optimal control problem is designed with two control strategies, namely, the prevention through minimizing the contact between the infected with acute diarrhea infectious and susceptible, and treatment of an individual. The existence of optimal control model is obtained. Numerical results of the dynamics of the disease are presented. It was found that, as the effective contact rate increases, it increases the reproduction number of the model equations, also as the effectiveness of compliance of good hygiene increases, it decreases the reproduction number of the model by varying the contact rate and more so, as production rate of acute diarrhea bacteria increases, it increases the secondary cases of the infected individuals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
