Also the stability of the equilibrium points are examined via the basic reproductive number of the infection and trace-determinant condition of the Jacobian matrix at the equilibrium point, for a system of non-linear differential equation. The threshold conditions on the model parameters, which allows stability of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium points are derived and their biological interpretations given.} }
