Predicting and controlling the Ebola infection

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: We present a comparison between two different mathematical models used in the description of the Ebola virus propagation currently occurring in West Africa. In order to improve the prediction and the control of the propagation of the virus, numerical simulations and optimal control of the two models for Ebola are investigated. In particular, we study when the two models generate similar results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
