Optimal Control of a Vector-Host Epidemic Model with Direct Transmission
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we extend an existing vector-host epidemic model with direct transmission to assess the impact of two control measures, i.e. the preventive control to minimize vector-host contacts and the insecticide control to the vector. The aim is to derive optimal prevention strategies with minimal implementation cost. The characterization of optimal control is performed analytically by applying Pontryagin Minimum Principle. The obtained optimality system is then solved numerically to investigate that there are cost effective control efforts in reducing the incidence of infectious hosts and vectors.

Mathematical Model for Transmission Dynamics of Hepatitus C Virus with Optimal Control Strategies
An epidemic model with optimal control strategies was investigated for Hepatitus C Viral disease that can be transmitted through infected individuals. In this study, we used a deterministic compartmental model for assessing the effect of different optimal control strategies for controlling the spread of Hepatitus C disease in the community. Stability theory of differential equations is us...
متن کاملAn epidemic model of a vector-borne disease with direct transmission and time delay
This paper considers an epidemic model of a vector-borne disease which has direct mode of transmission in addition to the vector-mediated transmission. The incidence term is assumed to be of the bilinear mass-action form. We include both a baseline ODE version of the model, and, a differential-delay model with a discrete time delay. The ODE model shows that the dynamics is completely determined...
متن کاملAn optimal control problem arising from a dengue disease transmission model.
An optimal control problem for a host-vector Dengue transmission model is discussed here. In the model, treatments with mosquito repellent are given to adults and children and those who undergo treatment are classified in treated compartments. With this classification, the model consists of 11 dynamic equations. The basic reproductive ratio that represents the epidemic indicator is obtained fro...

The most urgent public health problem today is to devise effective strategies to minimize the destruction caused by the AIDS epidemic. Mathematical models based on the underlying transmission mechanisms of the AIDS virus can help the medical/scientific community understand and anticipate its spread in different populations and evaluate the potential effectiveness of different approaches for bri...

Based on a simple model due to Dietz, it is shown that the size of a major epidemic of a vector-borne disease with basic reproduction ratio R0 > 1 is dominated by the size of a standard SIR (susceptible–infected–removed) epidemic with direct host-to-host transmission of disease and the same R0. Further bounds and numerical illustrations are provided, broadly spanning situations where the size o...
