dc.description.abstractA mathematical model for amoebiasis is developed and presented. The model captures some control interventions such as screening, treatment, and sanitation. The effective reproductive number is computed and is used to analyze the stability of the model system. Sensitivity analysis is used to investigate the parameters that impact the transmission of the disease; as such, it could need more attention to bring the disease to an end. Numerical results show a reduction in infections when at least each of the control measures considered is applied efficiently. Moreover, the findings show that carriers play a potential role in the prevalence of amoebiasis, ignoring them undermines the efforts of containing this epidemic. On the other hand, sensitivity analysis shows that indirect transmission contributes to more infections than direct transmission.en_US
