Malaria, Fractional, Simulation, Adams–Bashforth–MoultonAbstract
This study examines many epidemiological features of malaria infection using a fractional-order mathematical model to assess how therapy affects the dynamics of malaria transmission. Fractional Adams–Bashforth–Moulton numerical simulations show how fractional-order values and model parameters affect malaria dynamics and control. More surface and contour plot simulations show that the prevalence of malaria would rise with increasing contact rates and less effective treatment. Additionally, the study reveals that improving treatment approaches can dramatically lower the frequency of malaria in the general population.
