In recent years, COVID-19 has evolved into many variants, posing new challenges for disease control and prevention. The Omicron variant, in particular, has been found to be highly contagious. In this study, we constructed and analyzed a mathematical model of COVID-19 transmission that incorporates vaccination and three different compartments of the infected population: asymptomatic [Formula: see text], symptomatic [Formula: see text], and Omicron [Formula: see text].
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA fractional-order cholera model in the Caputo sense is constructed. The model is an extension of the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model. The transmission dynamics of the disease are studied by incorporating the saturated incidence rate into the model.

The Banach contraction mapping principle is used to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution. Based on the magnitude of the basic reproduction number, we show that the model consists of two equilibrium solutions that are stable.

The reproduction ratio and equilibrium solutions are determined. The purpose of this article is to use a non-integer order derivative in order to present information about the model solutions, uniqueness, and existence using a fixed point theory.

The emergence of highly contagious Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta variants and strains of COVID-19 put healthy people on high risk of contracting the infection. In addition to the vaccination strategies, the nonpharmaceutical intervention use of face mask gives protection against the contraction of the virus. To understand the efficacy of such, we present a Caputo type fractional dynamical model to assess the efficacy of facemask to the community transmission of COVID-19.

But, it is known fact that in some countries the lockdown strategy could bring the desired results while in some the situation could worsen the spread of the virus due to poor management and lack of facilities, palliatives and incentives. To this regard, we feel motivated to develop a new mathematical model that assesses the imposition of the lockdown in Nigeria.

Most of the nations with deplorable health conditions lack rapid COVID-19diagnostic test due to limited testing kits and laboratories. The un-diagnosticmild cases (who show no critical sign and symptoms) play the role as a route that spread the infection unknowingly to healthy individuals. In this paper, we present a fractional order SIR model incorporating individual with mild cases as a compartment to become SMIR model.

Two compartmental models consisting of two equations each were constructed. The models studied the use of robots for the identification of COVID-19-positive patients.

In this paper a mathematical model of fractional order is constructed to study the significance of the lockdown in mitigating the virus spread. The model consists of a system of five nonlinear fractional-order differential equations in the Caputo sense.

We find two equilibrium points, disease free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium. Global stability analysis of the equilibria was conducted using Lyapunov function which depends on the basic reproduction ratio .
