Introduction

Mathematical modelling is an important research discipline for investigating complex biological and epidemiological systems. It provides quantitative frameworks for examining transmission patterns, assessing intervention strategies and understanding how changes in model parameters influence disease outcomes. In Nigeria, mathematical investigations of infectious diseases are particularly relevant to public health planning and the interpretation of epidemiological conditions.

Within this research context, Sunday Aloke has contributed to studies examining infectious disease transmission through mathematical frameworks. His publications demonstrate engagement with regional epidemiological problems and analytical approaches that support the study of disease progression and control. [1][3]

Research Profile

Aloke’s research profile is primarily associated with applied mathematics and mathematical modelling. His reported publications indicate an interdisciplinary orientation connecting mathematical analysis with epidemiology, infectious disease research and academic development. His research activities involve collaborative investigations with other scholars and address problems requiring quantitative interpretation.

The available publication information identifies several recurring research interests:

  • Mathematical modelling of infectious disease transmission.
  • Sensitivity and perturbation analysis of epidemiological systems.
  • Bifurcation analysis and optimal disease control.
  • Quantitative approaches to public health challenges in Nigeria.
  • Application of data analysis software in academic capacity building.

Research Contributions

One notable contribution is the 2024 study, A mathematical model of Lassa fever transmission and control in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Co-authored with Patrick A. Okpara, the research applies mathematical modelling to examine Lassa fever transmission and control within a defined Nigerian setting. The publication provides an example of the application of mathematical methods to a significant regional health concern. [1]

His collaborative research also includes a 2026 investigation of HIV/AIDS transmission dynamics through an age-structured model. This study incorporates sensitivity analysis to examine the influence of relevant parameters on disease transmission. [2]

Additional publications address malaria transmission through asymptotic perturbation and sensitivity analysis, as well as dengue infection dynamics using perturbation, bifurcation analysis and optimal control. These studies illustrate the application of mathematical techniques to different epidemiological systems. [3][4]
