Parasitic Diseases List

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by an infestation of Schistosoma , which is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions [1]. According to the World Health Organization's 2019 statistics, over 200 million people in more than 70 countries and regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are affected. The majority of patients are located in economically underdeveloped areas of Africa with low-income levels, which is why schistosomiasis is often referred to as a "neglected tropical disease" [2]. There are three main species of schistosomiasis parasites that affect humans: Schistosoma mansoni , S. haematobium , and S. japonicum [3]. Schistosoma mansoni is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and South America. Schistosoma haematobium is mainly distributed in Africa and the Middle East [4]. Schistosoma japonicum is mainly distributed in East Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries...

Various pathogens can cause skin infections, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The symptoms, treatment, and outlook will depend on the cause. Infections can vary from mild to serious. Most skin infections are highly treatable. However, an infection can become more serious if it goes deeper into the skin or spreads across much of the body. People with a weakened immune system have a higher risk of skin infections and complications from skin infections. This could be due to: a health condition, such as HIV, diabetes, poor circulation, or malnutrition a side effect of medication, such as chemotherapy or biologic drug use being older or very young have skin folds due to obesity Over-the-counter medications and home remedies can often treat mild infections, but other infections may need medical attention.

Abstract Over the course of history global population has witnessed deterioration of unprecedented scale caused by infectious transmission. The necessity to mitigate the infectious flow requires the launch of a well-directed and inclusive set of efforts. Motivated by the urge for continuous improvement in existing schemes, this article aims at the encapsulation of the dynamics of the spread of infectious diseases. The objectives are served by the launch of the infectious disease model. Moreover, an optimal control strategy is introduced to ensure the incorporation of the most feasible health interventions to reduce the number of infected individuals. The outcomes of the research are facilitated by stratifying the population into five compartments that are susceptible class, acute infected class, chronic infected class, recovered class, and vaccinated class. The optimal control strategy is formulated by incorporating specific control variables namely, awareness about medication, isolati...
