A Mathematical Model for Coinfection of Listeriosis and Anthrax Diseases
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2018 Listeriosis and Anthrax are fatal zoonotic diseases caused by Listeria monocytogene and Bacillus Anthracis, respectively. In this paper, we proposed and analysed a compartmental Listeriosis-Anthrax coinfection model describing the transmission dynamics ...
