Modelling the Transmission Dynamics of Meningitis among High and Low-Risk People in Ghana with Cost-Effectiveness Analysis by Nicholas Kwasi-Do Ohene Opoku, Reindorf Nartey Borkor, Andrews Frimpong Adu, Hannah Nyarkoah Nyarko, Albert Doughan, Edwin Moses Appiah, Biigba Yakubu, Isabel Mensah, Samson Pandam Salifu

“…Thus, this article develops a mathematical model that ascertains the dynamics involved in meningitis transmissions by partitioning individuals into low- and high-risk susceptible groups. After computing the basic reproduction number, the model is shown to exhibit a unique local asymptotically stability at the meningitis-free equilibrium E†, when the effective reproduction number R0<1, and the existence of two endemic equilibria for which R0†<R0<1 and exhibits the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, which shows the difficulty of relying only on the reproduction number to control the disease. …”
