Randomized trial develops a mathematical model for malaria transmission, revealing implications for vaccination effectiveness.

The aim is to develop a mathematical model to understand malaria dynamics considering imperfect vaccination.
Established existence and uniqueness of model solutions using partial differential equations.
Derived basic reproduction number and analyzed disease equilibria using Lyapunov functional.
Calibrated the model with empirical data from Oromia, Ethiopia.
Demonstrated that R0 < 1 leads to global asymptotic stability of disease-free equilibrium, indicating elimination.
Showed R0 > 1 confirms global asymptotic stability of endemic equilibrium, indicating disease persistence.
Identified factors increasing R0: transmission rate and waning immunity; factors decreasing R0: mortality and vaccination rates.

Dinsa et al. (2026) studied this question.
