The variation in mortality of humans and mosquitoes due to causes other than malaria, the infectiousness of recovered humans, the decay of acquired immunity and the immune system boosting are taken into account. The existence of biological meaningful solutions has been analyzed and a single disease-free equilibrium has been identified. The basic reproduction number is expressed in terms of the parameters of the model. The stability of the disease-free equilibrium has been analyzed. We have provided some basic conditions in which the disease dies out or persists. The numerical results showed the impact of immunity decay and immune system boosting on malaria transmission.

The method used is based on the standard approach. Using only sample information, the difference, and the ratio of two lognormal medians which had been calculated got compared through an empirical simulation study. As is shown, an estimator with an outperformance can be obtained by utilizing a coefficient of variation (CV) not greater than 0.50.

A group satisfies $C T(n)$ provided the centralizer of any element omitted by the $n$th term of the upper central series is abelian. A result of Myasnikov and Remeslennikoy is that the universal theory of a free group $F$ is axiomatized by the quasi-identities true in $F$ together with $C T(0)$ when the models are restricted to $F$-groups. It was shown in [1] that if $G$ is free in the variety $mathcal{N}_c$ of group nilpotent of class at most $c$, then $G$ satisfies $C T(c-1)$. Myasnikov posed the question of whether or not the universal theory of $G$ is axiomatized by the quasi-identities true in $G$ together with $C T(c-1)$ when the models are restricted to $G$-groups in the case $c=2$. The authors have shown in [4] that Myasnikov's question has a positive answer when $G$ has rank 2 . In this paper, we outline an approach to try to extend the result to arbitrary finite rank. Moreover, a counterexample is exhibited to show the analogous result is false already when $c=3$. A conjecture is made about what axioms may suffice when $c geq 3$.
