A mathematical model for the transmission of cholera dynamics with a class of quarantined and vaccination parameter as control strategies is proposed in this paper. It is shown through mathematical analysis that the solution of the model uniquely exist, is positive and bounded in a certain region. The disease-free and endemic equilibrium points of the model are obtained. By using the next generation matrix, the basic reproduction number was computed around the disease-free equilibrium points, and it was shown through the Jacobian matrix that the disease free equilibrium is locally asymptotic stable if Rh<1. Numerical simulation was carried to understand the impact of the incorporated controls as the system evolves over time. Results show that effective quarantine, vaccination and proper sanitation reduce the disease contact rates and thus eliminates the spread of cholera.
