Abstract

The goal of this model is to optimize the eradication of Ebola, which has been increasingly severe since 2014, causing more than 8966 deaths. Without effective control, human society will face a serious threat. This paper primarily addresses the problem by predicting the trend of Ebola transmission using the modified SIR model—SEIR model. Based on the data from the WHO, the parameters of this model are obtained. From this, epidemic situation in the future can be clearly observed. Besides, relatively accurate data in the short term can be gotten through this Grey Prediction model, which remedies the shortage of SEIR model in the short-term prediction. Thus, Ebola epidemic situation is bound to be eased and possibly be eradicated within a certain period.
