Analysis, simulation and optimal control of a SEIR model for Ebola virus with demographic effects

Amira Rachah, Delfim F. M. Torres

Ebola virus is one of the most virulent pathogens for humans. We present a mathematical description of different Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) models. By using ma…

Modeling, dynamics and optimal control of Ebola virus spread

Amira Rachah, Delfim F. M. Torres

We present a mathematical analysis of the early detection of Ebola virus. The propagation of the virus is analysed by using a Susceptible, Infected, Recovered (SIR) model. In order…

Dynamics and optimal control of Ebola transmission

Amira Rachah, Delfim F. M. Torres

A major Ebola outbreak occurs in West Africa since March 2014, being the deadliest epidemic in history. As an infectious disease epidemiology, Ebola is the most lethal and is movin…
