Modeling the Impact of Immunization on the Epidemiology of Varicella Zoster Virus.
Abstract
Chickenpox (also called varicella) is a disease caused by virus known as varicella-zoster virus (VZV) also known as human herpes virus 3. In this paper, a deterministic mathematical model for transmission dynamics of VZV with vaccination is formulated. The effective reproduction number is computed in order to measure the relative impact for individual or combined intervention for effective disease control. Numerical simulations of the basic reproduction number of the model shows that, the combination of vaccination and treatment is the most effective way to combat the epidemiology of VZV in the community.
