Abstract

We consider a metapopulation model of cholera describing explicitly the movement of individuals and contaminated water between locations as well as a simple vaccination mechanism. The global stability of the disease-free equilibrium point when the location-specific reproduction numbers are all less than unity is established. We then conduct some numerical investigation of the model.
