dc.description.abstractWith heavy influx of migrant workers into cities, curbing the spread of large-scale tuberculosis (TB) and HIV infection is an immense challenge. A case study, based on the TB epidemiological and other statistical data in China, indicates that the disease spread can be controlled if effective measures are taken to reduce the reactivation rate of exposed/latent migrant workers. Impact of the migration rate and direction, as well as the duration of home visit stay, on the control of disease spread is also examined numerically. The research develops a mathematical model that factors in epidemiological, social and economic features of migrant workers.en
