An Application of a Dynamic Model of Malaria Spread

Abstract

The use of Mathematics to solve real-world problems has become widespread. This paper describes the modeling of spread of malaria disease. Data from Pull and Grab (1974) was used to verify the model and the goodness-of-fit was used to validate the model and the observed data. The x2 test statistics shows that as time increases , the proportion of affected human population by malaria at a time [X(t)] remains constant at significant levels of 10% and 5% .
