Disease Background First account of sickness diagnosed as YF occurred in 1648 First account of sickness diagnosed as YF occurred in 1648 Causative agent: genus Flavivirus Causative agent: genus Flavivirus Vector: Aedes aegypti (mosquito) Vector: Aedes aegypti (mosquito) Nonhuman primates maintain disease Nonhuman primates maintain disease http://www.tel.hr/ public- health/bolesti/krp eljni2.htm http://www.gemsvt.org/middle/grad e7/science/resources.htm http://www.ahajokes.com/crt05 0.html

The SEVIR Model Humans can be in one of five categories at a time *Virus incubating **Contagious ***Includes: survivors, victims, Immune Susceptible Exposed*Infective**Recovered*** Vaccinated
7
Assumptions 100% transmission 100% transmission Linear vaccination term, 1 week lag Linear vaccination term, 1 week lag Pesticides affect the birth rate continuously Pesticides affect the birth rate continuously No mosquito larval stage No mosquito larval stage Homogeneous mixing of people Homogeneous mixing of people

Parameters Humans: Humans: Population: N H = 800 000 Population: N H = 800 000 Incubation rate: δ = 1/12 (people/day) Incubation rate: δ = 1/12 (people/day) Death rate: ψ = 0.08/14 (people/day) Death rate: ψ = 0.08/14 (people/day) Recovery rate: r = 0.92/14 (people/day) Recovery rate: r = 0.92/14 (people/day) http://www.aclassmedicine.org/diet.html

Parameters Cont’d Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes: Number of Mosquitoes: N M = 100 000 000 Number of Mosquitoes: N M = 100 000 000 Biting rate: μ = 1/10 (bites/day·mosquito) Biting rate: μ = 1/10 (bites/day·mosquito) Birth rate*: α = 0.11 (mosquitoes/day) Birth rate*: α = 0.11 (mosquitoes/day) Death rate: β = 0.25 (mosquitoes/day) Death rate: β = 0.25 (mosquitoes/day) Incubation rate: ε = 1/12 (mosquitoes/day) Incubation rate: ε = 1/12 (mosquitoes/day) *Low due to insecticide use

Model vs. Data for 2002 Outbreak Cumulative Cases Days
14
The “Epidemic Curve” New Cases Days Clear peak at ~20 days, no new Infections after 100 days
15
Predictive Power Parameters can be changed to make useful predictions: Parameters can be changed to make useful predictions: Changing control parameters Changing control parameters Varying disease introduction Varying disease introduction
16
Without Pesticide Cumulative Cases Days Controlled epidemic (vaccine) with a higher number of total cases (~400)
17
Without Vaccine Cumulative Cases Days Controlled epidemic (pesticide) with a higher number of total cases (~450)
18
No Controls (pesticide or vaccine) Cumulative Cases Days Disease is rampant!
19
Introduction of Disease Through Pre-Contagious Humans Cumulative Cases Days Vaccine takes effect before contagious period begins
20
Conclusions Single urban compartment well- described by model Single urban compartment well- described by model Parameter adjustment has realistic effects Parameter adjustment has realistic effects Future models should include progression through jungle and village Future models should include progression through jungle and village
