A mathematical model for Vibrio-phage interactions

A mathematical model for Vibrio-phage interactions

A cholera model has been formulated to incorporate the interaction of bacteria and phage. It is shown that there may exist three equilibria: one disease free and two endemic equilibria. Threshold parameters have been derived to characterize stability of these equilibria. Sensitivity analysis and dis...

Description
Summary:A cholera model has been formulated to incorporate the interaction of bacteria and phage. It is shown that there may exist three equilibria: one disease free and two endemic equilibria. Threshold parameters have been derived to characterize stability of these equilibria. Sensitivity analysis and disease control strategies have been employed to characterize the impact of bacteria-phage interaction on cholera dynamics.
