Abstract


Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) and Malaria continue to pose significant public health burden globally and are co-endemic in many sub-Saharan African regions. In this work, we developed and analyzed a mathematical model of Lymphatic filariasis and malaria co-infection model. Friedman and Lunge method was used to find the positivity of the solution, the disease-free equilibrium was obtained, the model stability was analyzed, and the basic reproductive number was also obtained. The findings suggest that with the use of a bed-net and insecticide as a control measure, the treatment of LF and malaria co-infection can be reduced to a minimum.
