Abstract

Recently, it has been a hot topic in the field of medical and disease how to slow down or control the speed of the spread of Ebola. To solve this problem, we divided the whole stage of Ebola spread into three stages: Free-Spread stage, Isolation-Control stage and Prevent-Treatment stage. Based on these stages, we get the corresponding SEID ordinary differential equations method, SEIQD method and SEIQRD method respectively. And the feasible projects can be worked out at different stages to control Ebola. In further discussion, we study the problem of drug delivery, and delivery method was got in order to make the best use of medicine which includes three steps: 1) finding the best location of transfer station; 2) carrying out the clustering analysis of the affected regions; 3) finding the preliminary delivery systems of any one of affected regions. From the above steps, possible feasible delivery systems can be made from the above steps. Finally, the simulation analyses of the series of methods were made. The numerical results indicate that our method can be used to simulate the Ebola spread.
