Abstract:We consider a deterministic optimal control approach with cost‐effectiveness analysis for the diphtheria outbreak in the Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh. A deterministic epidemic dynamical model for diphtheria outbreaks has been developed with three optimal controls: vaccination, latent, and infectious treatment. Here, the qualitative study of the model has been interpreted. An objective function has been regarded as a cost function introduced by the optimal controls and the diseases themselves. Then, the … Show more
