This paper looked at the exploration of Lassa fever transmission dynamics through stochastic models which yielded valuable insights into the interplay of factors influencing the probability of extinction and persistence of the virus within a population. By embracing the inherent randomness and variability in the system, the model provided a more realistic representation of the complex ecological and epidemiological dynamics of Lassa fever. We developed the deterministic model using a system of o...
