Sensitivity Analysis of Malaria Transmission Model.

Background and Aim: Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has become a global concern. The researchers used a model of the spread of malaria that involved the coexistence of two populations: humans and mosquitoes. The main objective of this work is to analyze the sensitivity index of each parameter in the model. Materials and Methods: Three compartments were used in the model's construction for the human population and two for the mosquito population. The main objective of this work is to analyze the sensitivity index of each parameter in the model. This analysis is crucial to understanding the variance in model output brought on by changes in input. This analysis provides information to researchers about the parameters that most influence the dynamics of the spread of malaria in the human population. Results: The results of this study inform that the parameter of an individual mosquito's average number of bites on all human hosts is the most dominant factor in increasing the spread of malaria in humans. On the other hand, the number of mosquitoes that naturally die is the most important parameter in reducing the spread of malaria in humans. Conclusion: The sensitivity index shows that the parameter of an individual mosquito's average number of ites on all human hosts (rr) is e most dominant in increasing the spread of malaria in humans. On the other hand, thnaturally die open paren mu sub v, die (μv) is the most important parameter in reducing the spread of malaria in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
