To understand the disease dynamics of the co-infection, a new mathematical model, which incorporates vaccination as an intervention, is formulated. Theoretical analysis suggests that both the sub-models (COVID-19-only and malaria-only sub-models) and the full model undergo backward bifurcation when their respective reproduction number is less than unity. It further suggests that in the absence of re-infection both the sub-models and the full model have a globally asymptotically stable disease free equilibrium whenever the corresponding reproduction number is less than unity. The study further reveals that malaria infection may increase the risk of COVID-19, whereas COVID-19 infection may not always increase the risk of malaria. Numerical simulation also suggests that COVID-19 fatality rate increases by approximately 5 folds due to co-infection with malaria while co-infection with COVID-19 may not have significant effect on malaria fatality rate. It again shows that malaria cases can be reduced by approximately 60% if 90% individuals use non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as nets and repellents of 90% efficacy. Using the expression of the vaccine-induced herd immunity threshold and contour plot it is shown that at least 75% individuals should be vaccinated with a vaccine of 85% efficacy to achieve herd immunity against malaria. The study also shows that strategy C (prevention strategy for both COVID-19 and malaria) is the most cost-effective strategy to mitigate the burden of co-infection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34531,"journal":{"name":"Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 101217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The skin friction is strengthened by the porosity parameter but decreased with magnetic field and thermal and mass buoyancy forces.
