Mathematical Models for Typhoid Disease Transmission: A Systematic Literature Review

Explaining all published articles on the typhoid disease transmission model was carried out. It has been conducted to understand how Salmonella is transmitted among humans and vectors with variation interventions to control the spread of the typhoid disease. Specific objectives were to (1) identify the model developed, (2) describe the studies, and (3) identify the interventions of the model. It systemically searched and reviewed Dimension, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases from 2013 through to 2022 for articles that studied the spread of typhoid fever through a compartmental mathematical model. This study obtained 111 unique articles from three databases, resulting in 23 articles corresponding to the created terms. All the articles were elaborated on to identify their identities for more explanation. Various interventions were considered in the model of each article, are identified, and then summarized to find out the opportunities for model development in future works. The whole article's content was identified and outlined regarding how mathematics plays a role in model analysis and study of typhoid disease spread with various interventions. The study of mathematical modeling for typhoid disease transmission can be developed on analysis and creating the model with direct and indirect interventions to the human population for further work.
