Abstract : Malaria is a disease spread by an infected mosquito or through transfusion of plasmodium-infected blood to susceptible individuals. Many interventions have been implemented to control malaria transmission, including blood screening, Long-Lasting Insecticide Bed Nets (LLIN), treatment with an anti-malaria drug, spraying chemicals/pesticides on mosquito breeding sites, and indoor residual spray, among others. As a result, a deterministic model is developed to study the impact of various malaria control and mitigation strategies against malaria transmission.
