Sensitivity Analysis in a Dengue Epidemiological Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epidemiological models may give some basic guidelines for public health practitioners, allowing to analyze issues that can influence the strategies to prevent and fight a disease. To be used in decision-making, however, a mathematical model must be carefully parameterized and validated with epidemiological and entomological data. Here a SIR (S for susceptible, I for infectious, R for recovered individuals) and ASI (A for the aquatic phase of the mosquito, S for susceptible and I for infectious mosquitoes) epidemiological model describing a dengue disease is presented, as well as the associated basic reproduction number. A sensitivity analysis of the epidemiological model is performed in order to determine the relative importance of the model parameters to the disease transmission.

Dengue Fever Serology in Febrile Patients in Southeast Iran
Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in all regions in recent years. There is little information on dengue fever epidemiology in Iran. High prevalence of dengue fever in Pakistan bordering southeast Iran emphasizes the need for paying more attention to monitoring of the disease in this region. The aim of this study was to study the dengue...

BACKGROUND Accurate prediction of dengue incidence levels weeks in advance of an outbreak may reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this neglected disease. Therefore, models were developed to predict high and low dengue incidence in order to provide timely forewarnings in the Philippines. METHODS Model inputs were chosen based on studies indicating variables that may impact dengu...

An S-I-R epidemiological model with clinical diagnosis of dengue transmission, Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF), Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) dynamics in a population in Thailand is discussed. Our model consists of seven non-linear differential equations. The standard dynamical analysis is used for analyzing the behavior for the transmission of dengue disease. Local existence r...

Objective: WHO recommends countries consider dengue vaccination in geographic settings only where epidemiological data indicate a high burden of disease. In defining target populations, WHO recommend that prior infection with any dengue serotype should be >70% seroprevalence. Here we address considerations for serosurvey design in the context of the newly licensed CYD-TDV vaccine. Methods: To e...

Dengue virus (DENV) is the world most prevalent mosquito-transmitted virus. The incidence of dengue infection has been increasing and most of the infected people are asymptomatic or have non specific febrile illness. Laboratory test is essential to confirm dengue infection in epidemiological studies. We developed an indirect ELISA test based on monoclonal immunoglobulin against all four DENV se...
