Abstract:We present a compartmental mathematical model of (SITR) to investigate the effect of saturation treatment in the dynamical spread of diarrhea in the community. The mathematical analysis shows that the disease free and the endemic equilibrium points of the model exist. The disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable when \(R_{0}<1\) and unstable otherwise \(R_{0}>1\). Numerical simulation results, show the effect of saturation treatment function on the spread of diarrhea. Efficacy of treatment shows a great impact in the total eradication of diarrhea epidemic.
