Abstract
This research paper considers the dynamics in epidemic model. Since understanding the mechanism of the spread and the transmission dynamics of a disease, is very crucial in preventing and controlling disease. We describe the mechanisms of disease transmission model of infectious agents. Optimal control theory was used to deduce the optimal strategy aimed at curtailing the spread of syphilis.
