Mathematical modeling of the effects of public health education on tungiasis—a neglected disease with many challenges in endemic communities

Abstract In this paper, we formulate and study a mathematical model for the dynamics of jigger infestation incorporating public health education using systems of ordinary differential equations and computational simulations. The basic reproduction number RE $R_{E}$ is obtained and used to determine...
