A fractional perspective on the transmission dynamics of a parasitic infection, considering the impact of both strong and weak immunity

Infectious disease cryptosporidiosis is caused by the cryptosporidium parasite, a type of parasitic organism. It is spread through the ingestion of contaminated water, food, or fecal matter from infected animals or humans. The control becomes difficult because the parasite may remain in the environm...
