  • Fractional model for malaria disease
    Publication . Pinto, Carla; Tenreiro Machado, J. A.
    In this paper we study a fractional order model for malaria transmission. It is considered the integer order model proposed by Chitnis et al [1] and we generalize it up to become a fractional model. The new model is simulated for distinct values of the fractional order. Are considered two initial conditions and a set of parameter values satisfying a value of the reproduction number, R0, less than one, for the integer model. In this case, there is co-existence of a stable disease free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium. The results are in agreement with the integer order model and reveal that we can extend the dynamical evolution up to new types of transients. Future work will focus on analytically prove some of the results obtained.
