Theoretical Examination of the Pulse Vaccination Policy in the SIR Epidemic Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on a theory of population dynamics in perturbed environments, it was hypothesized that measles epidemics can be more efficiently controlled by pulse vaccination, i.e., by a vaccination effort that is pulsed over time (11. Here, we analyze the rationale of the pulse vaccination strategy in the simple SIR epidemic model. We show that repeatedly vaccinating the susceptible population in a series of “pulses, ” it is possible to eradicate the measles infection from the entire model population. We derive the conditions for epidemic eradication under various constraints and show their dependence on the parameters of the epidemic model. @ 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Pulse vaccination strategy in the SIR epidemic model.
Theoretical results show that the measles 'pulse' vaccination strategy can be distinguished from the conventional strategies in leading to disease eradication at relatively low values of vaccination. Using the SIR epidemic model we showed that under a planned pulse vaccination regime the system converges to a stable solution with the number of infectious individuals equal to zero. We showed tha...
متن کاملGlobal Dynamical Behaviors for an Sir Epidemic Model with Time Delay and Pulse Vaccination
Since the investigation of impulsive delay differential equations are inchoate, the literature on delay epidemic models with pulse vaccination is not extensive. In this paper, we propose a delay SIR epidemic model with impulsive effect and analyze the global dynamics behaviors of the model. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we show that there exists an ’inf...
متن کاملSIR-SVS epidemic models with continuous and impulsive vaccination strategies.
Vaccination is important for the control of some infectious diseases. This paper considers two SIR-SVS epidemic models with vaccination, where it is assumed that the vaccination for the newborns is continuous in the two models, and that the vaccination for the susceptible individuals is continuous and impulsive, respectively. The basic reproduction numbers of two models, determining whether the...
متن کاملAnalysis of an SIR Epidemic Model with Pulse Vaccination and Distributed Time Delay
Pulse vaccination, the repeated application of vaccine over a defined age range, is gaining prominence as an effective strategy for the elimination of infectious diseases. An SIR epidemic model with pulse vaccination and distributed time delay is proposed in this paper. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain the exact infection-free periodic solution o...
متن کاملStability Analysis and Optimal Control of Vaccination and Treatment of a SIR Epidemiological Deterministic Model with Relapse
In this paper, we studied and formulated the relapsed SIR model of a constant size population with standard incidence rate. Also, the optimal control problem with treatment and vaccination as controls, subject to the model is formulated. The analysis carried out on the model, clearly showed that the infection free steady state is globally asymptotically stable if the bas...
