In this paper, while Rotavirus has been a recognised disease for a long time in developing countries
like Uganda, the control of this endemic disease is still a challenge. We formulated a mathematical model for the
dynamics of Rotavirus disease with both treatment and vaccination. The equilibrium points are determined. The
disease free equilibrium points are shown to be locally and globally asymptotically stable. We analyzed different
reproduction numbers at different doses of vaccination with treatment. Numerical results indicate that rotavirus
can be reduced when one or both interventions are implemented. The study recommends that children should
always be treated and also complete all their doses of rotavirus vaccines so as to reduce severe infections. |
