The effect of sudden Fluctuations on a treated Hepatitis C model

In this paper, we consider a Hepatitis C model characterized by acute and chronic infections, treatment as a health-protective measure for the chronically infected is proposed, and its effect on the population is further highlighted. The model is perturbed by white noise and we incorporate Lévy jumps as means to depict abrupt fluctuations. We demonstrate the solution’s existence and uniqueness and deduce adequate criteria for the disease’s extinction and persistence. The importance of treatment as a protective strategy is manifested in its ability to eradicate or mitigate the propagation of the disease. We present numerical simulations to demonstrate the theoretical findings we have obtained.
