Dengue fever is endemic in tropical and sub-tropical countries, and some of the important features of Dengue fever spread continues to pose challenges for mathematical modelling. Here, we propose a system of integro-differential equations (IDE) to study the disease transmission dynamics that involves multiserotypes and cross immunity. Our main objective is to incorporate and analyze the effect of a general time delay term describing acquired cross immunity protection and the effect of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), both characteristics of Dengue fever. We perform qualitative analysis of the model and obtain results to show the stability of the epidemiologically important steady solutions that is completely determined by the basic reproduction number and the invasion reproduction number. We establish the global dynamics, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions. We also conduct some numerical experiments to illustrate bifurcation structures, indicating the occurrence of periodic oscillations for specific range of values of a key parameter representing the ADE.

AbstrakInfeksi virus dengue (DENV) terkadang tanpa gejala atau dapat menunjukkan gejala klinis yang luas, berkisar dari sindrom flu ringan (dengue fever/DF), dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), hingga syok hipovolemik (dengue shock syndrome/DSS). Hipotesis yang berkaitan dengan tingkat keparahan infeksi DENV meliputi mekanisme antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) dan keterlibatan sitokin. Hingga kini, belum ada obat antiviral yang efektif untuk mengeradikasi dan mencegah infeksi DENV, sehingga pencegahan berupa vaksin perlu dikembangkan. Kandidat vaksin DNA berbasis gen preM-E serotipe 4 strain Indonesia yang dikembangkan pada penelitian terdahulu disuntikkan ke mencit ddY, kemudian diuji tantang dengan DENV. Pada hari ke-4 dan ke-21 pascauji tantang, keberadaan sitokin IL-2 dalam serum dideteksi dengan metode ELISA. Serum hari ke-21 digunakan dalam uji ADE menggunakan sel K562. Sel limpa diambil pada hari ke-21 pascauji tantang, kemudian keberadaan IL-2 dan antibodi in vitro dideteksi dengan metode ELISA. Tingkat IL-2 tertinggi terdapat pada serum hari ke-4 pada kelompok mencit yang tidak diimunisasi namun diuji tantang, yaitu sebesar 69,83 pg/ml. Konsentrasi IL-2 terendah ditunjukkan oleh kelompok mencit yang diimunisasi namun tidak diuji tantang, yaitu 0 pg/ml. Pengukuran IL-2 pada serum dan supernatan sel limpa hari ke-21 tidak mendapatkan konsentrasi IL-2. Titer antibodi tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok sel limpa mencit yang diimunisasi, diuji tantang, dan diinduksi in vitro dengan DENV. Hasil uji ADE menunjukkan tingkat pengenceran serum berpengaruh terhadap jumlah sel yang terinfeksi oleh DENV, namun tidak ditemukan kondisi netralisasi dan enhancing. Berdasarkan metode yang digunakan, kandidat vaksin DNA tersebut dapat memicu respon imun seluler dan humoral.AbstractDengue virus (DENV) infection can be asymptomatic or cause wide range of clinical symptoms, from mild febrille ilness (dengue fever/DF), dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), to hipovolemic shock (dengue shock syndrome/DSS). Hypotheses related to the severity of DENV infection mechanisms including antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and cytokines involvement. Until now, there are no effective antiviral drugs can eradicate and prevent DENV infection, therefore the development of vaccines is the alternative. DNA vaccine candidate preM-E serotype 4 strain of Indonesia which was developed in previous studies injected into ddY mice, then challenge with DENV. At day 4 and 21 post-challenge, serum was taken to detect the presence of cytokines IL-2 using ELISA method. Day 21 serum used in the antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) assay using K562 cell line. Splenocytes were taken at day 21 post-challenge to measure the presence of IL-2 and in vitro antibody using ELISA method. Measurement of IL-2 on day 4 serum produced the highest levels of IL-2 (69.83 pg/ml) in the group of non-immunized, challenged mice, whereas the lowest concentration (0 pg/ml) shown by the group of immunized, non-challenged mice. Measurement of IL-2 in serum and splenocytes day 21 did not get the concentration of IL-2. The highest result of in vitro antibody measurements shown by the group of splenocytes from immunized, challenged mice then in vitro induced with DENV. ADE assay results showed that level of serum dilution has effect on the number of dengue-infected cells, but netralization and enhancing condition were not found in this assay. Based on this methods, the DNA vaccine candidate can trigger cellular and humoral immune responses.

Background and Objective: For dengue outbreak prevention and vectors reduction, fundamental role of control parameters like vaccination against dengue virus in human population and insecticide in mosquito population have been addressed theoretically and numerically. For this purpose, an existing model was modified to optimize dengue fever. Methodology: Using Pontryagin’s maximum principle, the dynamics of infection for the optimal control problem was addressed, further, defined cost functional, established existence of optimal control, stated Hamiltonian for characterization of optimization. Results: Numerical simulations for optimal state variables and control variables were performed. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that with low cost of control variables, state variable such as recovered population increases gradually and decrease other state variables for host and vector population.
