Mathematical Model of MDR-TB and XDR-TB with Isolation and Lost to Follow-Up
Mathematical Model of MDR-TB and XDR-TB with Isolation and Lost to Follow-Up
We present a deterministic model with isolation and lost to follow-up for the transmission dynamics of three strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), namely, the drug sensitive, multi-drug-resistant (MDR), and extensively-drug-resistant (XDR) TB strains. The model is analyzed to gain insights into the qualitative features of its associated equilibria. Some of …
