Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model describing the dynamics of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in a human carrier is presented. The model incorporated relevant feature such as recovery through drug administration. The existence and uniqueness of solutions of the model were examined by actual solution. We conduct local and global stability analysis for the model. The results show that it is stable under certain conditions. The system of equations were solved analytically using parameter-expanding method coupled with direct integration. The results are presented graphically and discussed. It is discovered that the influence of burst size per infected cell, rate of cell infection and recovery rate due to drug administration is quite significant.
