We propose a mathematical model of pine wilt disease (PWD) which is caused by pine sawyer beetles carrying the pinewood nematode (PWN). We calculate the basic reproduction numberR0and investigate the stability of a disease-free and endemic equilibrium in a given mathematical model. We show that the stability of the equilibrium in the proposed model can be controlled through the basic reproduction numberR0. We then discuss effective optimal control strategies for the proposed PWD mathematical model. We demonstrate the existence of a control problem, and then we apply both analytical and numerical techniques to demonstrate effective control methods to prevent the transmission of the PWD. In order to do this, we apply two control strategies: tree-injection of nematicide and the eradication of adult beetles through aerial pesticide spraying. Optimal prevention strategies can be determined by solving the corresponding optimality system. Numerical simulations of the optimal control problem using a set of reasonable parameter values suggest that reducing the number of pine sawyer beetles is more effective than the tree-injection strategy for controlling the spread of PWD.

AbstractThis work investigates the dissemination mechanism of pine wilt disease. The basic reproduction number is computed explicitly, and an ultimate invariable level of contagious hosts and vectors, without and with disease, is discussed by using this number. Highly effective techniques, Lyapunov functional and graph theoretic, are utilised to obtain the ultimate constant level of the whole population. The idea of complete disease eradication and reduction of endemic level is explored through the utilisation of two efficient methods. Using sensitivity analysis approach, necessary control measures are suggested to overcome the disease. Using the literature data, the robustness of control strategies is shown graphically.
