Analysis and Application of Mathematical Modeling in Malaria Disease Control
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to analyze malaria transmission dynamics, as malaria is an infectious disease caused by the spread of progenitor parasites to humans through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Mathematical models have long served as a framework for understanding and managing the impact of malaria, which has affected populations for over a century. Our model incorporates infected individuals who may recover and later …

Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics Using Stochastic Differential Equations: A Review
Abstract: The accurate modeling of infectious disease dynamics is crucial for predicting outbreaks and informing public health interventions. While deterministic models such as the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) framework have traditionally been used to understand disease transmission, they often fail to account for the randomness inherent in real-world scenarios. Disease spread is influenced by numerous uncertain factors, including individual behavioral changes, environmental fluctuations, and imperfect data reporting. These uncertainties can significantly impact model …

Homeopathy and Miasms: Exploring Their Vital Importance
Abstract: An individual’s susceptibility to disease is not solely an internal matter but is also profoundly shaped by a variety of external influences. These influences can be broadly categorized into meteoric factors – such as climate, weather changes, seasonal variations, and atmospheric conditions – and telluric factors, which include environmental and terrestrial elements like soil, water, living conditions, and geographical surroundings. When such external influences act upon the human organism, they …
