Modify the SDE Model TY LI et al, (2021) to Incorporate Latent and Active Scenarios of the Co-Infected Diseases in Nigeria
Authors/Creators
Description
In this study, we aimed to modify the stochastic differential equations model previously developed by Li et al (2021) to further advance our understanding of the co-infection dynamics of HIV/AIDS with TB. By incorporating additional factors such as population demographics and environmental conditions, our modified model can better predict the spread and impact of both diseases and provide insight into potential interventions. Through rigorous simulations and sensitivity analyses, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our modified model in capturing the complex and dynamic nature of co-infections. Our findings highlight the need for continued research and targeted interventions to effectively combat the dual burden of HIV/AIDS and TB in affected populations.
