Description
Summary:In this paper, a within-host cholera mathematical model has been developed using a system of ordinary differential equations incorporating vaccine efficacy. The formulated model considers cells in an already vaccinated individual with a vaccine whose efficacy is γ. The solutions of the model have been shown to be both positive and bounded hence well-posed. The vaccine basic reproduction number has been carried out using the next generation matrix approach and is given by R0V=γ/d+μ2 and R0V<1 if γ<d+μ2. Analysis of the model shows that infection free equilibriumIFE point is both locally and globally asymptotically stable when R0V<1 and infection equilibriumIE point is locally asymptotically stable when R0V>1. Furthermore, analysis of the model shows that R0V<1 is not sufficient enough to eradicate in-host cholera disease, hence the existence of backward bifurcation which is an indication as to why cholera disease is persistent. To highlight the relevance of vaccine efficacy, a numerical simulation of the model with respect to vaccination is carried out and shows that when the vaccine efficacy γ is high, there will be a lower infection rate of cells, hence the need to improve cholera vaccine efficacy.
