The effect of masked campaign on mathematical model for the transmission epidemic measles

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop and evaluate the stability of mathematical modeling for masked campaign on mathematical model for the transmission epidemic measles. The model is analyzed using standard methods, the Equilibrium Point, stability of the Equilibrium Point and numerical solution are studied. The mathematical model analyze’s result found that the Equilibrium Point has no transmission when the level of the disease reading is R0=0.1114<1 which means there is no transmission of epidemic measles at this point. On the other hand, the Equilibrium Point has transmission when the level of disease reading is Ro=10.417>1 which means there is a transmission of epidemic measles. Masked campaign is the major factor on the mathematical model’s result. If the more people who has potential to have epidemic measles transmission has knowledge about masked campaign and follow the hypothesis suggested, the transmission will be decreased until there is no transmission at all.
