MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS TO STUDY THE ROLE OF MASS-MEDIA IN THE TRANSMISSION DYNAMICS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES

摘要

Type the abstract here The aim of this paper is to investigate and analyze the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in human population. We have formulated a non-linear SIRS model to study the role of awareness programs by mass-media in reducing the transmission of infectious diseases. The analysis shows that the awareness by mass-media plays a constructive role in the dissemination of knowledge/information and has positive impact in the reduction of disease transmission. Numerical simulations are performed to support and verify the analytical results.
