Fractional-order dynamics of Lassa fever: a Caputo–Fabrizio modelling framework with real statistical data

Boundary Value Problems
In this work, a fractional-order mathematical model with hospitalization, developed and studied within the Caputo–Fabrizio framework, is used to capture the transmission dynamics of Lassa fever. Given the periodic occurrences of Lassa fever and the known

Improving the care of Lassa fever patients: re-evaluating the use of Ribavirin and characterising cardiovascular function

Lassa fever is a viral haemorrhagic fever, endemic to several West African countries. Case fatality rates average 30% across the literature. Ribavirin, a broad-spectrum antiviral agent, has been used to treat Lassa fever for four decades.
