From: Modeling the effect of quarantine and vaccination on Ebola disease
Parameter | Average value |
|---|---|
Total number of population (N) | 10,000 people/day |
Contact rate (β) | variable day−1 |
Rate of quarantining (q) | 0.3 day−1 |
Rate of loss of infection acquired immunity (γ) | 0.25 day−1 |
Rate from S to R (vaccination rate) (v) | 0.15 day−1 |
Recovery rate, quarantined individual (\(\alpha_{1}\)) | 0.4 day−1 |
Recovery rate, non-quarantined individual (\(\alpha_{2}\)) | 0.25 day−1 |
Death rate by Ebola, quarantined individual (\(\delta_{1}\)) | 0.3 day−1 |
Death rate by Ebola, non-quarantined individual (\(\delta_{2}\)) | 0.75 day−1 |
