Abstract
An age-structured vector-borne disease model with horizontal transmission is proposed and studied in this paper, where the incubation ages of both host and vector and the immunity age of host are also introduced to consider the effects of multi-class-age structure. The reproductive number [Formula: see text] is derived as a threshold value to determine the existence and stability of the disease-free and endemic steady states. Furthermore, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, the global threshold dynamics of this model is established by [Formula: see text], that is, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when [Formula: see text], while if [Formula: see text] the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. In addition, considering the limited budget of the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) in the process of disease control, we present an optimal control problem with a fixed total expenditure, and discuss the existence of the most control strategy for this disease. Finally, some numerical simulations are performed to support the theoretical results.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biological Systems is published quarterly. The goal of the Journal is to promote interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and in Medicine, and the study of biological situations with a variety of tools, including mathematical and general systems methods. The Journal solicits original research papers and survey articles in areas that include (but are not limited to):
Complex systems studies; isomorphies; nonlinear dynamics; entropy; mathematical tools and systems theories with applications in Biology and Medicine.
Interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and Medicine; transfer of methods from one discipline to another; integration of biological levels, from atomic to molecular, macromolecular, cellular, and organic levels; animal biology; plant biology.
Environmental studies; relationships between individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems; bioeconomics, management of renewable resources; hierarchy theory; integration of spatial and time scales.
Evolutionary biology; co-evolutions; genetics and evolution; branching processes and phyllotaxis.
Medical systems; physiology; cardiac modeling; computer models in Medicine; cancer research; epidemiology.
Numerical simulations and computations; numerical study and analysis of biological data.
Epistemology; history of science.
The journal will also publish book reviews.
