Abstract

In this paper, a deterministic Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) model is formulated and analyzed with the aim of assessing the effect of chemoprophylaxis for the exposed individuals and treatment of symptomatic LF infections. Qualitative and quantitative analysis are implemented to determine the basic reproduction number Re necessary for the control of the diseases in the communities. The disease-free equilibrium (DFE) exists and is locally and globally asymptotically stable if Re<1, whereas if Re>1 the endemic equilibrium exists and it is locally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations are carried to complement the analytical results.
