Title: Analysis of Vector-host epidemic model

Abstract: Vector-borne diseases, among all infectious diseases of humans have constituted a major cause of human mortality. Mathematical models can project how infectious diseases progress to show the likely outcome of an epidemic. In this talk, we shall discuss the dynamics of a vector-host SIS epidemic model and the associated nonlinear system of differential equation. In addition, we will show that the global and local dynamics is completely determined by the basic reproduction number R0 .
