Stability
There exists an endemic steady state
whenever R0()>1.
The infection-free steady state is globally
asymptotically stable when R0= R0(0)<1.

Optimal Vaccination Strategies
Two optimization problems:
1. If the goal is to bring R0() to pre-assigned value then
find the vaccination strategy (a) that minimizes the
total cost associated with this goal (reduced prevalence
to a target level).
2. If the budget is fixed (cost) find a vaccination strategy
(a) that minimizes R0(), that is, that minimizes the
prevalence.

One-age and two-age vaccination strategies
7/17/2015

Optimal Strategies
1.
One–age strategy: vaccinate the susceptible
population at exactly age A.
2. Two–age strategy: vaccinate part of the
susceptible population at exactly age A1 and the
remaining susceptibles at a later age A2.
3. . Selected optimal strategy depends on cost
function (data).

Generalized Household Model
• Incorporates contact type (close vs. casual)
•
•
and focus on close and prolonged contacts.
Generalized households become the basic
epidemiological unit rather than individuals.
Use epidemiological time-scales in model
development and analysis.

 (n)
Both close casual contacts are
included in the extended model.
The risk of infection per
susceptible,  , is assumed to
be a nonlinear function of the
average cluster size n. The
constant p measures proportion
of time of an “individual

Full system
Reduced system
where x  Rm, y  Rn and  is a positive real
parameter near zero (small parameter). Five
conditions must be satisfied (not listed here). If the
reduced system has a globally asymptotically stable
equilibrium, then the full system has a g.a.s.

Conclusions
• A model for the transmission dynamics of
two strains of dengue was formulated and
analyzed with the incorporation of a
behavioral change class.
• Behavioral change impacts the disease
dynamics.
• Results support the necessity of the
behavioral change class to model the
transmission dynamics of dengue.

The National Environment Agency carries
out entomological investigation around the
residence and/or workplace of notified
cases, particularly if these cases form a
cluster where they are within 200 meters of
each other. They also carry out epidemic
vector control measures in outbreak areas
and areas of high Aedes breeding habitats.

Conclusions
Monitoring of particular strains may help prevent future
outbreaks
Elimination of breeding sites is an important factor, however low
mosquito densities are capable of producing large outbreaks
Having a well-structured public health system helps but other
approaches of prevention are needed
Transient (tourists) populations could possibly trigger large
outbreaks
By introduction of a new strain
Large pool of susceptible increases the probability of transmission
