Vaccination based control of infections in SIRS models with reinfection: special reference to pertussis

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the impact of introducing a partially protective vaccine on the dynamics of infection in SIRS models where primary and secondary infections are distinguished. We investigate whether a public health strategy based solely on vaccinating a proportion of newborns can lead to an effective control of the disease. In addition to carrying out the qualitative analysis, the findings are further explained by numerical simulations. The model exhibits backward bifurcation for certain value… Show more

“…These mechanisms are the re-stocking of a large enough pool of susceptible individuals, a process directly tied in to the study of the role of age-structure on disease dynamics. Additional mechanisms include seasonality, delays from various natural epidemiological starts (asymptomatic or latent stages), behavioral changes in disease dynamics and delays driven by interventions (quarantine/isolation) [5,4,20,19,28,9,25,24]. In this paper we have systematically derived the system of integro-differential equations model given by (7) and showed that system (7) is equivalent to the system of delay differential equations given by (8) for non-exponential waiting times in the Q class.…”

“…Thus, the classical requirement of R 0 < 1 is, although necessary, no longer sufficient for disease elimination [19,38,39,40]. In some epidemiological models, it has been shown that the backward bifurcation phenomenon is caused by factors such as nonlinear incidence (the infection force), disease-induced death or imperfect vaccine [19,40,41,42,43,44]. To confirm whether or not the backward bifurcation phenomenon occurs in this case, one could use the approach developed in [35,43,45], which is based on the general centre manifold theorem [46].…”
