Abstract |
The complete epidemiology of Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU)infection is yet to be determined. It has been postulated that the disease is spread by a vector whose breeding habits are determined by environmental factors such as seasonal temperature and rainfall regimes. In this paper, a mathematical model that incorporates the effects of seasonality has been compared with a non-seasonal model. It is shown that the number of secondary cases of Buruli Ulcer (BU) produced by a typical infected individual increases due to seasonality. Thus, the effects of seasonal it ylead to an enhancement of the spread of BU Keywords – Seasonal Dynamics, Epidemiology, Buruli Ulcer, Reproductive number | |||||||||
