Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Trachoma Transmission Dynamics: Evaluating the Synergy of Mass Drug Administration and Adult‐Targeted Education

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Trachoma remains a leading cause of preventable blindness in many low‐resource settings, driven by persistent transmission within closely interacting age groups. In this study, we develop and analyze a nonlinear age‐structured compartmental model that captures the transmission dynamics of trachoma between children and adults.
