Abstract

Hepatitis B infection is one of the serious viral infections that istreating the global health. Turkey has an intermediate endemicity for hepatitisB. In this study, a classical SIR model for hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission is proposed and analyzed. Based on the available data of Republic ofTurkey Ministry of Health, associated parameters are estimated and the Öttedmodel is shown by appropriate simulations. The basic reproductive number isobtained by using the estimated parameters. Finally, we discuss the sensitivityof parameters and the e§ect of changes of parameters in the spread of disease.
