Résumé

Pneumonia and Listeriosis are significant public health concerns, both individually and as co-infections, particularly in
vulnerable populations such as the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and infants. Using a mathematical modeling
approach, this study explores the epidemiological impact of Pneumonia–Listeriosis co-infection within human populations.
By developing a comprehensive model incorporating the transmission dynamics of both diseases, we aim to understand the
synergistic effects of co-infection on disease prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Mathematical analysis was established,
encompassing the transmission threshold calculation, calculated equilibrium points, and local stability.The model also assesses
the influence of key parameters, such as transmission rates, recovery rates, and co-infection interactions, on the overall
disease burden. Sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the most critical factors driving the spread of the co-infection.
Furthermore, we include the optimal control interventions to minimize the spread of Pneumonia–Listeriosis co-infection and
the costs associated with implementing control. Our findings provide valuable insights into the complexities of managing coinfections
and highlight the importance of targeted interventions to reduce the public health impact of Pneumonia–Listeriosis
co-infection. The results of this study inform public health strategies aimed at mitigating the dual burden of these infections,
thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
