Popis: A debilitating disease such as malaria has been a global health challenge for a long time. Mathematical models have provided insights on how best to control, prevent, or eradicate the disease. Most of the models used parameters to represent control strategies. The current research aims at using control strategies as disease compartments for both vector control and human-protection. By this, the long-time evolution of containment measures can be assessed. Consequently, a model of nine disease compartments is constructed using first-order ordinary differential equations. A qualitative analysis of the malaria-free equilibrium was carried out. The results indicate that the malaria-free equilibrium state is locally and globally asymptotically stable when R0HV
