Abstract

A major public health problem in Thai population is due to Malaria. This disease is caused by the multiplication of protozoa parasite of the genus Plasmodium; Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale. Malaria is found along the border with Burma, Cambodia and Malaysia. There are the different transmission rates of this disease between Thai juvenile and adult humans. In this study, the transmission of Malaria is considered by using Mathematical model. The analysis of this model is given by method of standard dynamical modeling. The local stability conditions are shown to point the way for decreasing the outbreak of the disease.
