An Epidemiological Model for Sexual Activities
Keywords:
Epidemiology, Lecturers, Sex, SIR model.Abstract
An epidemiological model depicting the dynamics of sexual activities among male lecturers is analysed in thisstudy. The model is a mime of the Susceptible -Infected -Recovered (SIR) model. Illegal sexual relationship bymale lectures is considered as a disease called LESEX for the purpose of this research. The model suggeststhat the recruitment of new male lecturers play a significant role in the reduction of LESEX. However, thebasic reproductive number is not enough to predict whether or not LESEX will persist among male lecturerson university campus.References
