چکیده

It is well-known that mosquitoes like specific smell or odor from the human so that some people is likely to be bitten more than other people. In recent years, it was investigated that mosquitoes like people more who has malaria parasite, especially gametocyte. This effect is called a mosquito-bias effect. As the dynamics of vector-borne disease is highly related to vector’s behavior, it is worth studying this feeding behavior of mosquitoes. The aim of this paper is to study necessity of a mosquito-bias effect when estabilshing control strategy. For this, we used Chamchod’s model to investigate a control problem. To show which parameter has high influences to change R0, sensitivity analysis was implemented. This says that prevention is most important policy to reduce malaria endemic. Next, time-dependent optimal control problem was studied. We used Pontryagin’s maximal principle to derive necessary conditions of the problem. Especially, we paid attention to cost-effectiveness of control intervention. It shows that a mosquito-bias effect doesn’t influence to change control policy, but serious errors are occurred as a view of a control effectiveness if we do not consider a mosquito-bias effect.

Understanding Vector Borne Diseases - A Mathematical Perspective for the case of Malaria

Just like the Zika-Virus, malaria is a vector-borne disease with three interacting population components. These are the parasite component, the vector component and the human component. The behavioral dynamics of each of these components play an integral role in the transmission dynamics of malaria. For example, there is a reproductive gain that accrue to the mosquito’s population as a result o...

Stability and Numerical Analysis of Malaria- mTB- HIV/AIDS Co-infection (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to examine the transmission dynamics of curable malaria, curable mTB and non-curable HIV/AIDS and their co-infection. The size of population has been taken as varying due to the emigration of susceptible population. The total population is divided into five subclasses as susceptible, malaria infected, mTB infected, HIV infection and AIDS by assumin...

Modelling the impact of drug resistance in malaria transmission and its optimal control analysis

We derive and analyse a deterministic model for the transmission of malaria disease with drug resistance in the infectives. Firstly, we calculate the basic reproduction number, R, and investigate the existence and stability of equilibria. The system is found to exhibit backward bifurcation, with this occurrence, the classical epidemiological requirement for effective eradication of malaria, R <...

Optimal control analysis of a malaria disease transmission model that includes treatment and vaccination with waning immunity

We derive and analyse a deterministic model for the transmission of malaria disease with mass action form of infection. Firstly, we calculate the basic reproduction number, R(0), and investigate the existence and stability of equilibria. The system is found to exhibit backward bifurcation. The implication of this occurrence is that the classical epidemiological requirement for effective eradica...

WILSON AND OTHERS URBAN MALARIA Urban Malaria: Understanding its Epidemiology, Ecology, and Transmission Across Seven Diverse ICEMR Network Sites

A major public health question is whether urbanization will transform malaria from a rural to an urban disease. However, differences about definitions of urban settings, urban malaria, and whether malaria control should differ between rural and urban areas complicate both the analysis of available data and the development of intervention strategies. This report examines the approach of the Inte...
