Abstract. An SEIR epidemic model is investigated to ascertain the impact of exposed individuals at latent period (individuals who are infected but not yet infectious) on the transmission dynamics of measles. Mathematical analysis is carried out that completely determine the dynamics of the model. The impact of exposed individuals at latent period are discussed through the stability analysis and numerical simulation.
