Summary#
This paper presents a compartmental model for the spread of a disease with an imperfect vaccine, considering transmission from deceased infected. The global dynamics are analyzed through Lyapunov functions and numerical simulations.
Key Findings#
- The importance of transmission from the deceased is assessed for Ebola virus disease, COVID-19, and Nipah fever.
Methodology#
- Study Type: Mathematical Model
Topics#
Epidemiology, Compartmental Models, Vaccination, Global Dynamics
Relevance#
This paper contributes to understanding the impact of transmission from deceased on disease spread, particularly in scenarios such as natural disasters, overwhelmed health care systems, or traditional funerary practices.
