We have introduced the epidemiology of infectious diseases, the epidemiology of meningitis, the epidemiology of pneumonia, and the epidemiology of infection of meningitis and pneumonia. The positivity and boundedness of the sated model was shown. Our model elucidate that, the disease free equilibrium points of each model are locally asymptotically stable if the corresponding reproduction numbers are less than one and globally asymptotically stable if the corresponding reproduction numbers are greater than one. Additionally, we have analyzed the existence and uniqueness of the endemic equilibrium point of each sub models, local stability and global stability of the endemic equilibrium points for each model. By using standard values of parameters we have obtained from different studies, we found that the effective reproduction numbers of meningitis\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$${\\mathcal{R}}_{eff(m)}=9$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:msub>\n                              <mml:mi>R<\/mml:mi>\n                              <mml:mrow>\n                                <mml:mi>e<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mo>(<\/mml:mo>\n                                <mml:mi>m<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mo>)<\/mml:mo>\n                              <\/mml:mrow>\n                            <\/mml:msub>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>9<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    and effective reproduction numbers of pneumonia\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$${\\mathcal{R}}_{eff(p)}=11$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:msub>\n                              <mml:mi>R<\/mml:mi>\n                              <mml:mrow>\n                                <mml:mi>e<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mo>(<\/mml:mo>\n                                <mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mo>)<\/mml:mo>\n                              <\/mml:mrow>\n                            <\/mml:msub>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>11<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    that lead us to the effective reproduction number of the meningitis and pneumonia co-infected model is\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$max\\left\\{ {\\mathcal{R}}_{eff\\left(m\\right)}, {\\mathcal{R}}_{eff(p)} \\right\\}=9$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mrow>\n                            <mml:mi>m<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mi>a<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mi>x<\/mml:mi>\n                            <mml:mfenced>\n                              <mml:msub>\n                                <mml:mi>R<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mrow>\n                                  <mml:mi>e<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mfenced>\n                                    <mml:mi>m<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <\/mml:mfenced>\n                                <\/mml:mrow>\n                              <\/mml:msub>\n                              <mml:mo>,<\/mml:mo>\n                              <mml:msub>\n                                <mml:mi>R<\/mml:mi>\n                                <mml:mrow>\n                                  <mml:mi>e<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mo>(<\/mml:mo>\n                                  <mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi>\n                                  <mml:mo>)<\/mml:mo>\n                                <\/mml:mrow>\n                              <\/mml:msub>\n                            <\/mml:mfenced>\n                            <mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo>\n                            <mml:mn>9<\/mml:mn>\n                          <\/mml:mrow>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    .
