In this article, we formulate and analyse a mathematical model for the co-infection of Hepatitis B virus and COVID-19. We incorporate into our framework Hepatitis B virus prevention, COVID-19 prevention, COVID-19 vaccination, and environmental factors so as to investigate their effect on transmission dynamics. First, we derive the basic reproduction number for HBV only, COVID-19 only, and co-infection stochastic models using the next generation matrix method. Next, we establish the conditions for stability in the stochastic sense for HBV only, COVID-19 only sub-models, and the co-infection model. Furthermore, we devote our attention to finding sufficient conditions for extinction and persistence. Finally, by using the Euler-Murayama scheme, we illustrate the dynamics of the co-infection, COVID-19, HBV and the effect of some parameters on disease transmission dynamics by means of numerical simulations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
