A FRACTIONAL SITR MODEL FOR DYNAMIC OF TUBERCULOSIS SPREAD

Abstract

This work presents a fractional SITR mathematical model that investigates the Tuberculosis (TB) spread in a human population. It was shown that disease-free and endemic equilibrium stability depended on the basic reproduction number. These results are in accordance with the epidemic theory. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results. The results show that the infected subpopulation increases in the absence of special treatment.
