Mathematical model to assess vaccination and effective contact rate impact in the spread of tuberculosis.

The long and binding treatment of tuberculosis (TB) at least 6-8 months for the new cases, the partial immunity given by BCG vaccine, the loss of immunity after a few years doing that strategy of TB control via vaccination and treatment of infectious are not sufficient to eradicate TB. TB is an infectious disease caused by the bacillus . Adults are principally attacked.

Bifurcation thresholds and optimal control in transmission dynamics of arboviral diseases.

In this paper, we derive and analyse a model for the control of arboviral diseases which takes into account an imperfect vaccine combined with some other control measures already studied in the literature. We begin by analysing the basic model without control. We prove the existence of two disease-free equilibrium points and the possible existence of up to two endemic equilibrium points (where the disease persists in the population).
