Determining Important Parameters in Ebola Epidemics

The dynamics of Ebola can best be understood using a mathematical model that determines its dynamics in the community. The model designed in this study explicitly incorporates the latency period, the different transmission compartments, and immigration and emigration effects. The steady states of the system are analysed for existence of equilibria and their stability investigated. From qualitative analysis of the model, it is established that a disease-free equilibrium exists and is stable whe
