Stochastic and random models of Malaria Disease with vertical transmission

Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease which affects both humans and animals. In this study, the existing mathematical model of malaria disease with vertical transmission is analyzed in random enviroment. Random effect terms are added to the parameters of the deterministic model to form a system of random differential equations. Similarly, stochastic noise is added to the deterministic system to obtain a stochastic model. Finally, the results from the deterministic, random and stochastic model are compared to comment on the random behavior of the disease.
