Abstract
In this paper, a mathematical model describing the dynamics of yellow fever
epidemics, which involves the interactions of two principal communities of Hosts
(Humans) and vectors (mosquitoes) is considered .The existence and uniqueness of
solutions of the model were examined by actual solution. We conduct local stability
analysis for the model. The results show that it is stable under certain conditions. The
system of equations describing the phenomenon was solved analytically using
parameter-expanding method coupled with direct integration. The results are
presented graphically and discussed. It is discovered that improvement in Vaccination
strategies will eradicate the epidemics.
