Modeling Cholera Dynamics with Controls
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present and analyze a cholera epidemiological model with control measures incorporated. This model is extended from the one proposed in [16] by including the effects of vaccination, therapeutic treatment, and water sanitation. Equilibrium analysis is conducted in the case with constant controls for both epidemic and endemic dynamics. Optimal control theory is applied to seek cost-effective solution of multiple time-dependent intervention strategies against cholera outbreaks.

Dynamical analysis and control strategies in modeling cholera
We conduct rigorous stability analysis for the well-known cholera model proposed by Codeço [7]. Using theory of monotone dynamical systems, we prove that the endemic equilibrium, when it exists, of the model is globally asymptotically stable, implying the persistence of the disease in the absence of interventions. We then modify Codeço’s model by incorporating various control strategies, and st...

Background & Objectives: The summer of 2005 witnessed an outbreak of cholera in Iran due to V. cholera, Inaba serotype. During the outbreak, there were 16 registered cases in Markazi Province. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for cholera outbreak in this part of the country. Methods: This was a case-control study in which cases were matched to controls on age and sex. Al...
متن کاملTransmission of Cholera Disease with Laplacian and Triangular Parameters
A mathematical model has been introduced for the transmission dynamics of cholera disease by GQ Sun et al. recently. In this study, we add Laplacian and Triangular random effects to this model and analyze the variation of results for both cases. The expectations and coefficients of variation are compared for the random models and the results are used to comment on the differences and similarit...
متن کاملModeling cholera outbreaks.
Mathematical modeling can be a valuable tool for studying infectious disease outbreak dynamics and simulating the effects of possible interventions. Here, we describe approaches to modeling cholera outbreaks and how models have been applied to explore intervention strategies, particularly in Haiti. Mathematical models can play an important role in formulating and evaluating complex cholera outb...
متن کاملEndemic and epidemic dynamics of cholera: the role of the aquatic reservoir
BACKGROUND In the last decades, attention to cholera epidemiology increased, as cholera epidemics became a worldwide health problem. Detailed investigation of V. cholerae interactions with its host and with other organisms in the environment suggests that cholera dynamics is much more complex than previously thought. Here, I formulate a mathematical model of cholera epidemiology that incorporat...
