On oscillatory pattern of malaria dynamics in a population with temporary immunity (Q2459357)

Summary: We use a model to study the dynamics of malaria in human and mosquito populations to explain the stability patterns of malaria. The model results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and occurs whenever the basic reproduction number \(R_{0}\) is less than unity. We also note that when \(R_{0}>1\), the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the endemic equilibrium is stable. Numerical simulations show that recoveries and temporary immunity keep the populations at oscillation patterns and eventually converge to a steady state.
