Fractional model for malaria transmission under control strategies

We study a fractional model for malaria transmission under control strategies. We consider the integer order model proposed by Chiyaka et al. (2008) in [15] and modify it to become a fractional order model. We study numerically the model for variation of the values of the fractional derivative and of the parameter that models personal protection, b. From observation of the figures we conclude that as b is increased from 0 to 1 there is a corresponding decrease in the number of infectious humans and infectious mosquitoes, for all values of @a. This means that this result is invariant for variation of fractional derivative, in the values tested. These results are in agreement with those obtained in Chiyaka et al. (2008) [15] for @a=1.0 and suggest that our fractional model is epidemiologically well-posed.
