Abstract:

The concurrent circulation of COVID-19, Influenza (Flu), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), collectively termed the “Tripledemic,” poses substantial public health challenges due to their overlapping transmission patterns and compounded healthcare demands. Despite the critical need for effective intervention strategies, there is a limited understanding of the comparative transmission dynamics of these three diseases. Traditional epidemiological models often analyze these viruses in isolation, overlooking potential interactions and seasonal variations. This study seeks to address these gaps by employing Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) mathematical models to estimate transmission rates, compute the basic reproduction number, forecast infections, and analyze seasonal variations and comparative transmission dynamics among the three diseases.
