Modelling the Epidemiology of Malaria: A Case Study of Wassa West District in the Western Region of Ghana
並列摘要
This study deals with modelling of the epidemiology of Malaria in the Wassa West District. The SIR model proposed by O. Kermack and Anderson Gray M ckendrick and data obtained from the District Health Management Team-DHMT, Tarkwa were used to analyze the rate of infection of Malaria in the District. It was discovered that R_o ＞ 0. From the principle of Ro which states that when R_o ＜ 0, the infection will die out with a certainty. But if R_o ＞ 0, there will be a proper Malaria outbreak, Based on the basic reproductive rate Ro, which is greater than 0, it was observed that the force of infection of Malaria in the Wassa West District is high. The necessary recommendations for the reduction of malaria were made.
