Abstract EN
Listeriosis and Anthrax are fatal zoonotic diseases caused by Listeria monocytogene and Bacillus Anthracis, respectively.
In this paper, we proposed and analysed a compartmental Listeriosis-Anthrax coinfection model describing the transmission dynamics of Listeriosis and Anthrax epidemic in human population using the stability theory of differential equations.
Our model revealed that the disease-free equilibrium of the Anthrax model only is locally stable when the basic reproduction number is less than one.
Sensitivity analysis was carried out on the model parameters in order to determine their impact on the disease dynamics.
Numerical simulation of the coinfection model was carried out and the results are displayed graphically and discussed.
We simulate the Listeriosis-Anthrax coinfection model by varying the human contact rate to see its effects on infected Anthrax population, infected Listeriosis population, and Listeriosis-Anthrax coinfected population.
