What is it about?

Mathematical models are widely used in order to understand the dynamics of the disease. In this study we focus a very important issue regarding the rumors spread about the disease propagation in the community. This study based on the ground realities faces to the individuals of Pakistan about an unauthentic information about the disease vaccination awareness. The present study is composed in the form of a mathematical model. A mathematical approach is used to obtain the necessary results. The proposed model is stable both locally and globally. For the basic reproduction number the disease free equilibrium is stable locally as well as globally. Further, the disease persistence occurs when the basic reproduction number exceeds than unity. The endemic equilibrium is stable locally as well as globally when the basic reproduction number exceeds than unity. The numerical solution of the model is presented in the form of the graphics by choosing such suitable parameters.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to rare disease groups contacting me and ultimately to a greater involvement in rare disease research.
