Awareness programs control infectious disease – Multiple delay induced mathematical model

作者：

Highlights：

• We study the effect of awareness programs on the spreading of infectious disease.

• Awareness divides the susceptible class into two subclasses: aware and unaware.

• An SIS epidemic model with awareness and multiple delays has been studied.

• Local stability, bifurcation analysis and realistic simulations have been performed.

• An awareness program has a significant effect on disease control.
