Malaria, a vector-borne disease, and malnutrition, an imbalance of essential nutrients, or
poor nutrition are two major causes of childhood mortality in malaria endemic regions.
Despite their geographical overlap, mathematical investigation of their co-dynamics is
lacking. To fill this gap, we formulate a deterministic model of malaria subdividing the
children population into two groups; those who are well-nourished and the poorly nourished,
in order to investigate the potential effect of malnutrition on malaria dynamics. The proposed …
