Optimal control strategies for toxoplasmosis disease transmission dynamics via harmonic mean-type incident rate by Usman Khan, Farhad Ali, Ohud A. Alqasem, Maysaa E. A. Elwahab, Ilyas Khan, Ariana Abdul Rahimzai

“…Toxoplasma infection (an endemic disease) has the potential to affect various organs and systems (brain, eyes, heart, lungs, liver, and lymph nodes). Bilinear incidence rate and constant population (birth rate is equal to death rate) are used in the literature to explain the dynamics of Toxoplasmosis disease transmission in humans and cats. …”

Dynamics and Control of Worm Epidemic Based on Mobile Networks by SEIQR-Type Model with Saturated Incidence Rate by Rui Hu, Qingwu Gao, Bairong Wang

“…Accordingly, we establish an SEIQR-type model to explore the worm epidemic with saturated incidence rate. This paper shows that if the basic reproduction number is less than 1, the worm-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable, and the epidemic of worm will eventually disappear and remain under control; in addition, if the basic reproduction number is greater than 1, the asymptotical stability of worm-existence equilibrium is derived to imply that the epidemic will remain persistent and uncontrollable. …”
