Abstract

  In this paper, we presented a mathematical model of Dengue disease to understand its dynamics by using a set of differential equations to describe the effects between human and mosquito populations. The epidemic and endemic analyses have also presented along with numerical simulations to verify our model so that it can be further studied for public health interventions. Meanwhile, our optimal control problem has been investigated to explore control strategies to stop the Dengue disease outbreak. Our results show that strategically deployed control measures can reduced the numbers of infectious individuals. Keywords :  Dengue fever, Mathematical model, equilibrium, Optimal control theory
