Basic reproductive Number (by next generation operator) 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Stability There exists an endemic steady state whenever R0()>1. The infection-free steady state is globally asymptotically stable when R0= R0(0)<1. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Optimal Vaccination Strategies Two optimization problems: If the goal is to bring R0() to pre-assigned value then find the vaccination strategy (a) that minimizes the total cost associated with this goal (reduced prevalence to a target level). If the budget is fixed (cost) find a vaccination strategy (a) that minimizes R0(), that is, that minimizes the prevalence. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Reproductive numbers Two optimization problems: R(y) < R* 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
One-age and two-age vaccination strategies 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Optimal Strategies One–age strategy: vaccinate the susceptible population at exactly age A. Two–age strategy: vaccinate part of the susceptible population at exactly age A1 and the remaining susceptibles at a later age A2. . Selected optimal strategy depends on cost function (data). 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Generalized Household Model Incorporates contact type (close vs. casual) and focus on close and prolonged contacts. Generalized households become the basic epidemiological unit rather than individuals. Use epidemiological time-scales in model development and analysis. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Transmission Diagram 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Key Features Basic epidemiological unit: cluster (generalized household) Movement of kE2 to I class brings nkE2 to N1 population, where by assumptions nkE2(S2 /N2) go to S1 and nkE2(E2/N2) go to E1 Conversely, recovery of I infectious bring nI back to N2 population, where nI (S1 /N1)= S1 go to S2 and nI (E1 /N1)= E1 go to E2 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Basic Cluster Model 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Basic Reproductive Number Where: is the expected number of infections produced by one infectious individual within his/her cluster. denotes the fraction that survives over the latency period. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Diagram of Extended Cluster Model 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Both close casual contacts are included in the extended model. The risk of infection per susceptible, , is assumed to be a nonlinear function of the average cluster size n. The constant p measures proportion of time of an “individual spanned within a cluster. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University

Role of Cluster Size (General Model) E(n) denotes the ratio of within cluster to between cluster transmission. E(n) increases and reaches its maximum value at The cluster size n* is optimal as it maximizes the relative impact of within to between cluster transmission. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Hoppensteadt’s Theorem (1973) Full system Reduced system where x Rm, y Rn and is a positive real parameter near zero (small parameter). Five conditions must be satisfied (not listed here). If the reduced system has a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium, then the full system has a g.a.s. equilibrium whenever 0< <<1. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Bifurcation Diagram 1 Global bifurcation diagram when 0<<<1 where denotes the ratio between rate of progression to active TB and the average life-span of the host (approximately). 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Numerical Simulations 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Concluding Remarks on Cluster Models A global forward bifurcation is obtained when << 1 E(n) measures the relative impact of close versus casual contacts can be defined. It defines optimal cluster size (size that maximizes transmission). Method can be used to study other transmission diseases with distinct time scales such as influenza 11/9/2018 Arizona State University

Arizona State University Introduction Mosquito transmitted disease 50 to 100 million reported cases every year Nearly 2.5 billion people at risk around the world (mostly in the tropics) Human generated breeding sites are a major problem. Infection with one type does not typically provide immunity to a second type 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Dengue hemorrhagic fever (worst case of the disease) About 1/4 to 1/2 million cases per year with a fatality ratio of 5% (most of fatalities occur in children) 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Four antigenically distinct serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4) Permanent immunity but no cross immunity After infection with a particular strain there is at most 90 days of partial immunity to other strains Gubler, D.J.: Dengue.

Arizona State University There is geographic strain variability. Each region with strain i, does not have all the variants of strain i. Geographic spread of new variants of existing local strains poses new challenges in a globally connected society. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Aedes aegypti (principal vector) viable eggs can survive without water for a long time (approximately one year) adults can live 20 to 30 days on average. only females take blood meals latency period of approximately 10 days later (on the average). Aedes albopictus a.k.a. the Asian tiger mosquito - can also transmit dengue 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Transmission Cycle 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University The Model Coupled nonlinear ode system Includes the immature (egg/larvae) vector stage Incorporates a general recruitment function for the immature stage of the vector SIR model for the host (human) system--following Ross’s approach (1911) Model incorporates multiple vector densities via its recruitment function 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University State Variables Vector State Variables E viable eggs (were used as the larvae/egg stage) V adult mosquitoes J infected adult mosquitoes Host State Variables (Humans) S susceptible hosts I infected hosts R recovered hosts 11/9/2018 Arizona State University

Change in Host Behavior and its Impact on the Co-evolution of Dengue 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Introduction to the Model Host System Vector System Our model expands on the work of Esteva and Vargas, by incorporating a behavioral change class in the host system and a latent stage in the vector system. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Basic Reproductive Number, R0 The Basic Reproductive number represents the number of secondary infections caused by a “typical” infectious individual Calculated using the Next Generation Operator approach Where, - represents the proportion of mosquitoes that make it from the latent stage to the infectious stage - represents the average time of the host spent in the infectious stage - represents the average life-span of the mosquito 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Regions of Stability of Endemic Equilibria From the stability analysis of the endemic equilibria, the following necessary condition arose which defines the regions illustrated above. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Conclusions A model for the transmission dynamics of two strains of dengue was formulated and analyzed with the incorporation of a behavioral change class. Behavioral change impacts the disease dynamics. Results support the necessity of the behavioral change class to model the transmission dynamics of dengue. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University A Comparison Study of the 2001 and 2004 Dengue Fever Outbreaks in Singapore 11/9/2018 Arizona State University

Singapore Health System and Data 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Singapore Health System and Data Prevention and Control The National Environment Agency carries out entomological investigation around the residence and/or workplace of notified cases, particularly if these cases form a cluster where they are within 200 meters of each other. They also carry out epidemic vector control measures in outbreak areas and areas of high Aedes breeding habitats. 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Preventive Measures Clustering of cases by place and time Intensified control actions are implemented in these cluster areas Surveillance control programs Vector control Larval source reduction (search-and-destroy) Health education House to house visits by health officers “Dengue Prevention Volunteer Groups” (National Environment Agency) Law enforcement Large fines for repeat offenders 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Reported cases from 2001-up to date 11/9/2018 Arizona State University

Arizona State University 2004 Outbreak 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University 2004 Outbreak 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
Arizona State University Conclusions Monitoring of particular strains may help prevent future outbreaks Elimination of breeding sites is an important factor, however low mosquito densities are capable of producing large outbreaks Having a well-structured public health system helps but other approaches of prevention are needed Transient (tourists) populations could possibly trigger large outbreaks By introduction of a new strain Large pool of susceptible increases the probability of transmission 11/9/2018 Arizona State University
