Modeling the vertical transmission of Syphilis

Abstract

Mathematical Modeling of Syphilis can be used to better understand its transmission in a population and the resurgence of syphilis in countries like Brazil, where there is currently a considerable increase in cases. So, based on the mathematical models available in the literature, this work proposes a practical application for the Brazilian scenario and still presents an extension that includes the possibility of vertical transmission (from mother to child) of the disease.
