Abstract:

This research investigates an infectious disease caused by an RNA virus called Zika, both in mosquitoes and humans. The Zika arbovirus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes has been shown to be capable of infecting humans via two routes: the bites of infected vectors and through sexual contacts involving infected and non-infected persons. Zika virus can cause influenza in effected humans and several diseases in infants of infected pregnant women. Author has formulated a mathematical model SEIPRRbRib for human population and SEI for vector population to see effect of Zika virus on the human, pregnant women, zika infected newborn baby from infected pregnant women and mosquito population. They computed the basic reproduction number for both human and mosquito population. They have used data of real cases in the United States. Author’s aim is to show the rate of transmission and consequences in new born infants with brain disorder and to help taking precautions against this disease.
