Abstract
Bacillary dysentery, commonly known as shigellosis, is a potentially perilous and
extremely contagious bacterial infection of the colon caused by—but not limited
to—bacteria shigella, bacillus, E. coli, Yersinia, and the parasite amoeba. This paper
formulates and analyses a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of
dysentery epidemic that incorporate the effects of weather variations. It examines
the stability of equilibria and compute the basic reproduction number that is
coupled with the time-periodic model, and establishes results on the threshold
dynamics. In the non-autonomous case, it investigates the disease extinction and
uniform persistence. Results suggest that the dynamics of bacillary dysentery is
appreciably affected by climate change, which also plays a significant role in
whittling the long-term dynamics of the epidemic.
