Sensitivity Analysis of Measles Model

Abstract

The scourge of high-level complications of measles transmission within human population requires immediate attention of all. A situation that cannot be fully avoided must be managed. Therefore, it is highly essential for all hands to be on deck to curb the outbreak of measles globally. In this paper, an extended SEIR model was formulated to capture different stages of diseases in the population. The population was classified into compartments and different parameters were examined with simulation procedure. From the results, needs to boost vaccination of mothers and improved timely treatment of the infected persons were established through sensitivity analysis.
