ABSTRACT: This study presents a deterministic model to examine how information affects the spread of Typhoid Fever. The model’s properties, including its stability and basic reproduction number, are analyzed. Simulations show that information can influence behavior in ways that may increase disease transmission. Notably, the rise in Typhoid cases is linked to poor adherence to health precautions. The findings highlight the critical role of public education in controlling the disease and emphasize the need to include information campaigns in prevention strategies.
