Dynamics of Infectious Diseases with Periodic Awareness Campaigns

In this article, we investigate the effect of an awareness campaign on the prevalence of infectious diseases, assuming the awareness campaign is organised periodically. On this basis, an SIS model is developed, considering susceptible and infected humans, using impulsive differential equations to describe the awareness campaign. To attain an effective control of the disease, the period and rate of awareness is determined using the mathematical model. Numerical simulations illustrate the analytical outcomes.
