Local and global asymptotic behavior of malaria-filariasis coinfections in compliant and noncompliant susceptible pregnant women to antenatal medical program in the tropics by Oluwatayo M. Ogunmiloro

“…In this paper, a mathematical nonlinear model system of equations describing the dynamics of the co-interaction between malaria and filariasis epidemic affecting the susceptible host population of pregnant women in the tropics is formulated. The basic reproduction number ${R_{mf}}$ of the coepidemic model is obtained, and we investigated that it is the threshold parameter between the extinction and persistence of the coepidemic disease. …”
