A mathematical model is formulated that incorporates the basic and important dynamics of Lassa fever disease transmission under the assumption of a homogeneously mixed population. We extended the model by introducing various control intervention measures, like external protection, isolation, treatment, and rodent control. The extended model called the multiple control intervention measure model, was analyzed and compared with the basic model by appropriate qualitative analysis and numerical simulation approach. We carried out sensitivity analysis of our multiple control model to investigate the impact of our parameters on the persistence or eradication of Lassa fever disease.
