Abstract
On April 12, 2018 Dr. Ana-Maria Croica gave a presentation as NSF-Target Infusion Program Seminar Series. Her topic is “An Optimal Control Model to Reduce and Eradicate Anthrax Disease in Herbivorous Animals. This research is based on Saad-Roy’s Mathematical Model of Anthrax Transmission in Animal Population. I was impressed by her mathematical model. Therefore, I would like to apply her process to construct a mathematical model for the Malaria lifecycle. Malaria lifecycle includes two major parts: Human host and Infected Mosquitos. At this research we first created two sub-models: Human Host Sub-Model and Mosquitos Sub-model. The combined these two sub-models into one Malaria Lifecycle model. We also considered the seasonal effect on mosquito’s birth and the effects by immunization and quarantine human host of malaria.
