Abstract:

In this paper, we proposed a Mathematical model of Lassa fever disease dynamics. We developed a model using a set of ordinary differential equations. The equilibrium states were obtained and analyzed for stability. We discovered that the zero equilibrium state is stable when the birth rate of the human population is less than the death rate and same when the birth rate of the mastomysnatalensis (reservoir) is less than the total death rates.
