Abstract

Infection with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) has been a serious public health issue worldwide. It caused more than one million fatalities per year. The mathematical modelling of the disease allows better understanding of the transmission of the disease and help the government policy makers to choose the best control strategies. With this inspiration, we proposed a novel dynamic model by incorporating infection-age structure to imitate the transmission of HBV, especially the age heterogeneity in horizontal and vertical (mother-to-child) transmission modes. We also discussed its impact on control measures and analyzed the dynamics of waning immunity and reinfection. We conducted sensitivity analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of each control measure. Our research concentrates on HBV acute patient cases in the United States data from Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our findings show that a mixed approach by including vaccination, medication and periodic health assessments can effectively control HBV transmission. Among these measures, we found that early vaccination with a single-dose vaccine of US$50 is the most cost-effective control strategy.

期刊介绍： Infectious Disease Modelling is an open access journal that undergoes peer-review. Its main objective is to facilitate research that combines mathematical modelling, retrieval and analysis of infection disease data, and public health decision support. The journal actively encourages original research that improves this interface, as well as review articles that highlight innovative methodologies relevant to data collection, informatics, and policy making in the field of public health.
