This study models polio transmission using a novel fractional order approach. The research identifies disease-free and endemic equilibria, offering insights into polio
Area of Science:
- Epidemiology
- Mathematical Biology
- Fractional Calculus
Background:
- Understanding polio transmission dynamics is crucial for effective disease control.
- Traditional epidemiological models may not fully capture the complexities of disease spread.
Purpose of the Study:

- Application of the Caputo Fabrizio fractional operator for analysis.
- Mathematical assessment of disease-free equilibrium (DFE) and endemic equilibrium (EE) points.
- Numerical simulations and graphical representations to illustrate disease behavior.
Main Results:
- The study successfully formulated a fractional order model for polio dynamics.
- Analysis confirmed the existence and stability of both DFE and EE points.
- Numerical simulations visualized the impact of various parameters on disease spread.
Conclusions:
- The fractional order model provides valuable insights into polio transmission.
- This approach enhances the understanding of infectious disease dynamics.
- The findings contribute to the broader field of epidemiological modeling.

The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
