humans and domestic animals coupled with a contaminated environment. We computed the
basic reproduction number R0 and employed it in analyzing the effect of initial transmission
and the stability of disease when an outbreak occurs. Results show that even when η= 0,
R0= R0h is greater than 4, showing that person-to-person transmission is the most
significant in the dynamics of Giardiasis. An increase in η increases the value of R0 to some …
