A Mathematical Model with Quarantine States for the Dynamics of Ebola Virus Disease in Human Populations

Figure 5

(a)-(b) Time series plot showing the propagation and stabilization of EVD to a stable nontrivial steady state for the nondimensional reduced model when the constant recruitment term is 555 persons per day and with , , and as in Figures 2(a)–2(e). Except for that is increased from 0.27 to 0.36, all the other parameters are as given in Table 2, and the corresponding value is . Notice that, in this case, the disease has a higher frequency of oscillations and the difference between the areas under and is considerably larger indicating that the size of the disease burden is considerably larger in this case.
