Fractional Order Model for Co-Infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and COVID-19 with Saturated Incidence Force of Infection

Chiekezi Zephaniah Opara,Ephraim Ngozi Erumaka,Nneka Onyinyechi Iheonu,Nnamdi Nonso Araka
This study presented and analyzed the fractional order model for co-infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and COVID-19 by adopting the Atangana-Baleanu derivative in Caputo sense. The solution’s boundedness and non-negativity are derived by applying the Laplace transform of the Atangana-Baleanu derivative in Caputo sense. We established the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the proposed model using Atangana-Baleanu Caputo Integral, and Banach fixed point theorem. The disease-...

Assessment of Schistosomiasis Risk Zone in Abuja Using Geospatial Technique

Damashi Mantim Tali, Babamaaji Rakiya Abdullahi, Nenrot Binshak, Daniel Nanbol Helen, Fom Johnson Lawrence, Danjuma Timloh Haruna, Abdullahi Hassan Saeedu
Alterations in the physical parameters of the environment are mostly responsible for the rapid proliferation of disease vectors and micro-organisms and the abundance of such diseases as schistosomiasis. Environmental factors such as distance to water body, rainfall, temperature, DEM, slope, land use land cover and NDVI were used geospatially (Multicriteria analysis) to model schistosomiasis risk zones in Abuja. The results signify that 40% of the total area covered in Abuja falls within high and...
