An Ebola virus disease model with fear and environmental transmission dynamics.

•Due to its high case fatality rate, EVD undoubtedly instills fear in the inhabitants of any affected community.•We propose an Ebola model with fear, which considers the pathogens in the environment to quantify the effect of fear and environmental transmission on the EVD disease dynamics.•The fear of death from Ebola is proportional to the Ebola disease transmission rate.•At high levels of fear, the number of EVD cases decrease.
