Abstract

Hepatitis B infection is one of the serious viral infections that is treating the global health. Turkey has an intermediate endemicity for hepatitis B. In this study, a classical SIR model for hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission is proposed and analyzed. Based on the available data of Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health, associated parameters are estimated and the fitted model is shown by appropriate simulations. The basic reproductive number is obtained by using the estimated parameters. Finally, we discuss the sensitivity of parameters and the effect of changes of parameters in the spread of disease.
