In this paper, a deterministic model for the dynamics of chikungunya virus transmission is formulated and analyzed. It is shown that the model has a disease free equilibrium (DFE) and by using the basic reprodution number (R0) local stability of DFE is proved when  R0 < 1. Also, the global stability of DFE is investigated by Lyapunov function and LaSalle Invariance Principle. We show that there exists a unique endemic equilibrium (EE) of the model which is locally asymptotically stable whenever R0 > 1 and establish the global stability of the EE when R0 > 1, by using Lyapunov function and LaSalle Invariance Principle for a special case. Numerical simulations and sensitivity analysis show that the destruction of breeding sites and reduction of average life spans of vector would be effective prevention to control the outbreak. Controlling of effective contact rates and reducing transmissions probabilities may reduce the disease prevalence. GANITJ. Bangladesh Math. Soc.41.1 (2021) 41-61

In this paper, we present two epidemic models with a nonlinear incidence and transfer from infectious to recovery. For epidemic models, the basic reproductive number is calculated. A dynamic system based on threshold, using LaSalle’s invariance principle and Lyapunov function, is structured completely by the basic reproductive number. By studying the SIR and SIRS models under the nonlinear condition, the general validity of the method is verified.

The model proposed by A. H. Taylor et al. [18] is discussed, with a view to determining the global asymptotic stability of the equilibria. The system consists of two autonomous differential equations, modeling the couple Phytoplankton-Nutrient with no delay on the recycling efficiency of nutrient by bacterial decomposition. Two distinct cases, persistence and extinction of phytoplankton are considered. In each case we will state the local and then the global stability of the equilibria by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function and using the LaSalle's invariance principle. Also, in the case of extinction of phytoplankton we have introduced a supply of nutrient in the system and we have revealed the bloom of phytoplankton, which appears biologically in upwelling conditions.

In urban settings, chikungunya, Zika, and dengue viruses are transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Since these viruses co-circulate in several regions, coinfection in humans and vectors may occur, and human coinfections have been frequently reported. Yet, little is known about the molecular aspects of virus interactions within hosts and how they contribute to arbovirus transmission dynamics. We have previously shown that Aedes aegypti exposed to chikungunya and Zika viruses in the same blood meal can become coinfected and transmit both viruses simultaneously. However, mosquitoes may also become coinfected by multiple, sequential feeds on single infected hosts. Therefore, we tested whether sequential infection with chikungunya and Zika viruses impacts mosquito vector competence. We exposed Ae. aegypti mosquitoes first to one virus and 7 days later to the other virus and compared infection, dissemination, and transmission rates between sequentially and single infected groups. We found that coinfection rates were high after sequential exposure and that mosquitoes were able to co-transmit both viruses. Surprisingly, chikungunya virus coinfection enhanced Zika virus transmission 7 days after the second blood meal. Our data demonstrate heterologous arbovirus synergism within mosquitoes, by unknown mechanisms, leading to enhancement of transmission under certain conditions.

This study presents a two-strain deterministic model which incorporates Dengvaxia vaccine and insecticide (adulticide) control strategies to forecast the dynamics of transmission and control of dengue in Madeira Island if there is a new outbreak with a different virus serotypes after the first outbreak in 2012. We construct suitable Lyapunov functions to investigate the global stability of the disease-free and boundary equilibrium points. Qualitative analysis of the model which incorporates time-varying controls with the specific goal of minimizing dengue disease transmission and the costs related to the control implementation by employing the optimal control theory is carried out. Three strategies, namely the use of Dengvaxia vaccine only, application of adulticide only, and the combination of Dengvaxia vaccine and adulticide are considered for the controls implementation. The necessary conditions are derived for the optimal control of dengue. We examine the impacts of the control strategies on the dynamics of infected humans and mosquito population by simulating the optimality system. The disease-freeequilibrium is found to be globally asymptotically stable whenever the basic reproduction numbers associated with virus serotypes 1 and j (j 2 {2, 3, 4}), respectively, satisfy R01,R0j 1, and the boundary equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the related R0i (i = 1, j) is above one. It is shown that the strategy based on the combination of Dengvaxia vaccine and adulticide helps in an effective control of dengue spread in the Island.

We first give sufficient conditions for the permanence of nonautonomous discrete ratio-dependent predator-prey model. By linearization of the model at positive solutions and construction of Lyapunov function, we also obtain some conditions which ensure that a positive solution of the model is stable and attracts all positive solutions.

A single species stage-structured model incorporating both toxicant and harvesting is proposed and studied. It is shown that toxicant has no influence on the persistent property of the system. The existence of the bionomic equilibrium is also studied. After that, we consider the system with variable harvest effect; sufficient conditions are obtained for the global stability of bionomic equilibrium by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function. The optimal policy is also investigated by using Pontryagin's maximal principle. Some numeric simulations are carried out to illustrate the feasibility of the main results. We end this paper by a brief discussion.

SUMMARYDengue is the world's most prevalent mosquito-borne disease, with more than 200 million people each year becoming infected. We used a mechanistic virus transmission model to determine whether climate warming would change dengue transmission in Australia. Using two climate models each with two carbon emission scenarios, we calculated future dengue epidemic potential for the period 2046–2064. Using the ECHAM5 model, decreased dengue transmission was predicted under the A2 carbon emission scenario, whereas some increases are likely under the B1 scenario. Dengue epidemic potential may decrease under climate warming due to mosquito breeding sites becoming drier and mosquito survivorship declining. These results contradict most previous studies that use correlative models to show increased dengue transmission under climate warming. Dengue epidemiology is determined by a complex interplay between climatic, human host, and pathogen factors. It is therefore naive to assume a simple relationship between climate and incidence, and incorrect to state that climate warming will uniformly increase dengue transmission, although in general the health impacts of climate change will be negative.
