MATHEMATICAL MODEL ON GONORRHOEA TRANSMISSION (STATISTICS PROJECT TOPICS AND MATERIALS)
ABSTRACT
This project presents mathematical modeling on gonorrhoea transmission. It covers the mode of transmission, causes, symptoms, complication and treatments/ controls of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae. It also includes the schematic diagram that described the transmission dynamics of the disease and the model. Finally, mathematical analysis such as equilibrium, stability and graphs were included.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Many people are in chaos about the negative influence of Gonorrhea disease. It has rendered a lot of men and women infertile in protracted case and complications.
Gonorrhea is a sexual transmitted disease caused by pathogen neisseria gonorrhoeae. The bacteria can live inside the cells of the cervix (entrance to the uterus), the urethra (tube where urine comes out), the rectum, the throat and occasionally the eyes. The bacteria are found mainly in the semen and vaginal fluids of women who have the infection.
Gonorrhea is mainly passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Anyone who is sexually active can get it and pass it on. You don’t need to have lots of sexual partners.
Gonococcus infection does not seem to confer immunity more precisely none of the immunologic defense mechanism has been shown to consistently prevent re-infection. This may be due the great advancement of gonococcus surface antigens in order for an individual to become infected; gonococci must attach themselves to mucosal surface so that they will not be washed away by urine and mucosal flows. The gonococci have hair – like appendages called Pili which enhance their attachment lymphote activation….
