Nanthaumar and.r.vjayashree Assocate Professor & Head, Department of Statstcs, Salem Sowdeswar ollege, Salem 636, TamlNadu, Inda. Emal: Assstant Professor & Head, Department of Statstcs, Vysya ollege, Salem 6363, TamlNadu, Inda Emal: ABSTRAT In ths paper deals wth the study of a stochastc model for predctng the tme to Dengue vrus transmsson. As the mmune capactes of an ndvdual dffer and also have ts personal resstance, the antgenc dversty threshold s dssmlar for dfferent person. We construct a stochastc model to study the damage process actng on the mmune system that s non-lnear. The mean tme to Dengue vrus transmsson and ts varance are derved wth numercal example. Keywords: Antgenc dversty threshold, Alpha-Posson process, Mttag-Laffler dstrbuton, Dengue, Tme to Dengue vrus transmsson.. Introducton Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Hemorrhagc Fever (DHF), collectvely nown as dengue," are mosquto-borne, potentally mortal, flu-le vral dseases that affect humans worldwde. Transmtted to humans by the bte of an nfected mosquto Aedes aegypt, dengue s caused by any one of four serotypes are termed as DENV-, DENV-, DENV-3, and DENV-4, or antgen-specfc vruses; dengue vrus s part of the Flavvrdae famly. Dengue s one of the most rapdly spreadng mosquto-borne

The severe form of dengue s medated by an ncrease n capllary permeablty that can cause severe bleedng (e.g. Gastrontestnal bleedng) and plasma leaage resultng n asctes and pleural effusons. Dengue dsease s a mosquto-borne condton that has become a major publc health concern. Dengue severty can be classfed nto mld Dengue fever (DF) and severe Dengue or Dengue hemorrhagc fever (DHF). Mathematcal and statstcal models descrbng the transmsson of dengue vruses appeared n the study of observatons related to pathogeness of dengue hemorrhagc fever (Fscher, 97) and provdng a better understandng of the nature and dynamcs of the transmsson of dengue nfecton, as well as predct outbreas and smulate the mpact of control strateges n dsease transmsson (Rco-Hesse, ). The tme to Dengue vrus transmsson by btng mosquto alone s the only mode of Dengue transmsson. The btes of mosqutoes are assumed between a seropostve person who s labeled as ndex case and seropostve state taes place over an ncubaton perod due to the contracton of Dengue to the partner from the ndex case by the btes of mosqutoes. In ths research paper constructng a stochastc model to learn the damage process performng on the mmune system that s non-lnear and also mean and varance of tme to Dengue vrus transmsson are derved wth numercal example.. Objectves Because of hardy assocated wth btes of mosqutoes, ths wor concentrates prmarly on estmatng the dynamcs of the Dengue transmsson by the btes of mosqutoes, as more than 95% of Dengue transmsson accounts for btes of mosqutoes. The objectves are: To realze the dynamcs of Dengue n an nfected ndvdual so that control measures can be adopted n order to slow down the severty of the dsease To learn the transmsson dynamcs of Dengue nfecton n a susceptble person so that the effcent strateges for controllng the spread of the epdemc can be mplemented To categorze the statstcal pattern of recognton of the tme to Dengue vrus transmsson To derve the dstrbuton of the tme to Dengue vrus transmsson To grant the nature and extent of uncertanty n tme to Dengue vrus transmsson wth respect to the vral load, bte rate and antgenc dversty threshold
3 5. Nanthaumar and.r.vjayashree 3. Assumptons and Notatons Btes of mosquto are the only source of Dengue transmsson. Damages to ndvduals are caused by transmsson of Dengue at each bte and the nter arrval tme between the btes are ndependent, dentcally dstrbuted random varables. The damage process actng on the mmune system of an nfected ndvdual s non-lnear and cumulatve. The total damage caused exceeds a threshold level, whch tself s a random varable, the tme to Dengue vrus transmsson occurs and the person s recognzed as nfected. The process that generates the btes, the sequence of damages and threshold are mutually ndependent. and the model parameters are: Btes rate of the nfected person (a) Intensty of the Dengue of the nfected person (β) Antgenc dversty threshold () 4. Stochastc model for tme to Dengue vrus transmsson wth one parameter Exponental dstrbuton 4. Dstrbuton of tme to Dengue vrus transmsson Let us consder a susceptble populaton whose major mode of transmsson s through btes of mosqutoes. Assume that at tme t=, a new member tested Dengue negatve enters the populaton and maes btes of mosquto wth members of the susceptble populaton. Let the btes of mosquto occur at random tme ponts whch s assumed to follow the Alpha-Posson dstrbuton () wth parameters a and β whch s gven as ( n) n ( at) pa, ( n, t) ( ), a,, n,,... ( ( n) ( at) e ( at), a, t,, ( )

The dstrbuton functon of Mttag-Leffler dstrbuton () s gven by ( ) ( ) Ga, ( t) ( at), t, a and ( ) Let the tme to Dengue vrus transmsson of the ndvdual be represented by the random varable. We obtan the dstrbuton of tme to Dengue vrus transmsson by a stochastc model based on the assumptons wth lnear damage process actng on the mmune system, we have the followng theorem. If the number of btes s an Alpha-Posson process wth parameters a and β and nter bte tme s a Mttag-Leffler dstrbuton whle the threshold level s an exponental dstrbuton wth parameter, then the probablty densty functon of tme to Dengue vrus transmsson s a three parameter Webull dstrbuton.
