An SCIR Model of Meningococcal Meningitis
A model for meningitis is developed by adding a class of carriers to the basic SIR model. This model is used to analyze the impact a vaccination program can have on the health of the population of epidemic prone countries. Analysis of the model shows the local stability of the disease free …

Reducing the Burden of Bacterial Meningitis in the African Meningitis Belt After MenAfriVac
The African meningitis belt - a semi-arid region stretching from Senegal to Ethiopia - experiences the highest incidence of bacterial meningitis in the world, characterised by seasonal fluctuations in endemic disease, localized outbreaks, and multiennial epidemics. MenAfriVac, a serogroup A …
