The main objective of this research is to investigate a new fractional mathematical model
involving a nonsingular derivative operator to discuss the clinical implications of diabetes
and tuberculosis coexistence. The new model involves two distinct populations, diabetics
and nondiabetics, while each of them consists of seven tuberculosis states: susceptible, fast
and slow latent, actively tuberculosis infection, recovered, fast latent after reinfection, and
drug-resistant. The fractional operator is also considered a recently introduced one with …
