Abstract
The mode of spread and transmission of cholera is very vital in considering appropriate measures for its control. The dynamics of cholera is analysed in this study using a system of four differential equations with two control measures and , which are; therapeutic treatment and sanitary measures respectively. A zero Vibrio Cholerae bacteria environment was first assumed and analysed establishing disease free equilibrium state (DFE), which is interpreted as . Epidemic equilibrium state assumed as was then obtained after analysing the non-zero Vibrio Cholerae bacteria environment. This established the fact that; measures aimed at reducing Vibrio Cholerae bacteria in the environment will in turn reduce or control cholera.
