    Abstract: The coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). This research is therefore aimed at using experimental design to derive a model for the spread of COVID-19 in West Africa. In effect, 32 factorial design with mixed factors was used to design the data layout with ... Show More

    Abstract: Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasite and it is transmitted among humans through bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. In this paper, a new deterministic mathematical model for the endemic malaria disease transmission that incorporates imperfect quarantine and optimal control is proposed. Impact of various intervention stra... Show More
