Project Details

Description

The world is experiencing the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS epidemic, and now it is more dangerous due to coinfection with visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Another coinfection of VL and TB is also increasing day by day. It is true some countries (eg. Gulf countries) are not prevalence of these diseases, but the increasing rate of migration from countries with a high-risk level, demands in depth research of such coinfection diseases. With this basic objective, we like to investigate the dynamics of HIV-VL coinfection and TB-VL coinfection along with the associated risk factors. We like to provide an optimal control strategy for the rate at which different intervention are to be needed for different endemic regions. Different statistical inferences will be used to validate our findings
