A Mathematical Model of Ebola Virus Based on SIR Model

Abstract

The Ebola virus can cause a severe disease, it is a fatal infectious diseases without treatment and popular in western Africa like Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Now we believe that Ebola virus first spread through the contact with infected animal blood, secretions or organ, and then diffuse from person to person. The mortality is 50% on average. There is no licensed Ebola vaccine, so actively participate into control these epidemic diseases is very important. This paper establishes a mathematical model about Ebola virus and analysis data to predict the spread.
