Abstract
A mathematical model presented in [1] for the transmission dynamics of Ebola virus is extended into a mathematical model that incorporates vaccination and change of behavior for self-protection of susceptible individuals. In the new setting, it is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable (GAS) when the basic reproduction number (denoted by R 0 ) is less than or equal to unity and unstable when R 0 > 1...
