1 A su of Dengue Disease Model wih accinaion Sraegy Pradeep Porwal,.. Badshah. School of Sudies in Mahemaics, ikram Universiy, Ujjain (M.P.), India Absrac In his paper, we proposed and analyzed he effecs of vaccinaion sraegy on he ransmission of he Dengue diseases. We propose SIR model wih logisic recruimen rae, and analyzed he Sea sae and sabiliy of he equilibrium poins. If R hen he non- infeced sea sae P will be sable. Also if R hen he endemic equilibrium P is sable. umerical simulaions show ha he effec of newborn vaccinaion is significanly less effecive han vaccinaing suscepible populaion. Also he effec of vaccinaion is o replace muliple oubreaks wih a single oubreak. Keywords Dengue disease model, accinaion sraegy, Sabiliy analysis, umerical analysis. Mahemaics Subjec Classificaion - 93D2, 92D3, 65L7.. Inroducion Dengue is he mos imporan human viral disease ransmied by arhropod vecors. Annually here are an esimaed 5 million cases of dengue fever (DF), and 25 o 5 cases of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DF) in he world. Dengue infecion is classified ino hree caegories: Dengue fever (DF), Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF) and Dengue shock syndrome (DSS). DF, DF and DSS are caused by he four dengue viruses DE, 2, 3, and 4. Infecion in humans wih one seroype provides life-long immuniy o ha virus bu no o he ohers. Dengue viruses are mainained in an urban ransmission cycle in ropical and subropical areas by he mosquio Aedes aegypi, a species closely associaed wih human habiaion. In some regions oher Aedes species, such as Ae albopicus and Ae polynesiensis are also involved. There are some epidemiological and demographical facors ha conribue o he ransmission of he disease. From a pracical poin of view, many counries organized vaccinaion programs o conrol he spread of he disease. The effecs of vaccinaion on he ransmission of infecious diseases are sudied by some researchers [2, 3, 4. These researchers sudied he direc ransmied disease. In our second model we sudied he effec of vaccinaion on an indirec ransmied disease. Recenly many researchers [4, 5, 6, 7 sudied he vaccinaion sraegy for all ype of dengue viruses bu i is no perfec. The mahemaical models for Dengue Fever found in lieraure [2, 7, 8 are based on comparmenal namics. We have also used he comparmenal namics. 2. Formulaion of he model In his paper we consider he effecs of vaccinaion sraegy on he ransmission of he Dengue diseases. The model assumes ha he hos populaion grows logisically, and has a consan disease deah rae. We also assume ha he vecor populaion has consan size wih birh and deah rae equal o. The hos p o p u l a i o n is subdivided ino h e suscepible recovered R classes. The ecor populaion, due o a sho r life period, is subdivided ino he suscepible The ransmission model for he dengue disease is as follows: ds I S S K 2 S, infecive I, and S, infecive I. di I S ( )I (2.) 7

The main quesion here is wheher i is enough o vaccine only new born hos in order o conrol he spread of he disease or i is necessary o vaccinae he larger suscepible hos [4. Le a porion,, of newborn hos be vaccinaed. Assume ha h e vaccine is no perfec and assume ha he effeciveness of he vaccine is s, and hen ( ) s newborns remain suscepible, and s K K being removed o R The corresponding namic equaion for is given by direcly 7

The sysem of equaion (2.8) was solved numerically using mahemaical sofware. The values of he parameers are aken from [. Afer simulaion, we observed ha he namic of infeced human and infeced vecor are no affeced by newborn vaccinaion. In Figure, (a) and (b) show he proporion of he infecive human populaion wihou vaccinaion. We see ha firs oubreak occurs a approimaely =6. Second oubreak begin from approimaely =24. If he newborn vaccinaion is applied, Figure (c) shows ha sill one oubreak occurs followed by eponenial decay. owever, if he suscepible vaccinaion is applied, Figure (d) shows ha here is almos no oubreak and he numbers of subsequen cases eponenially decay R ( )( ) s s K M

If R hen he non- infeced sea sae P will be sable and if R hen he endemic equilibrium 2 P is sable. umerical simulaions show ha he effec of newborn vaccinaion is significanly less effecive han vaccinaing suscepible populaion. Also he effec of vaccinaion is o replace muliple oubreaks wih a single 75
