    On oscillatory pattern of malaria dynamics in a population with temporary immunity
    (Taylor & Francis, 2007) Luboobi, L. S; Tumwiine, J.; Mugisha, J. Y. T.
    We use a model to study the dynamics of malaria in the human and mosquito population to explain the stability patterns of malaria. The model results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and occurs whenever the basic reproduction number, R0 is less than unity. We also note that when R0 . 1, the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the endemic equilibrium is stable. Numerical simulations show that recoveries and temporary immunity keep the populations at oscillation patterns and eventually converge to a steady state.
