Interplay between vaccines and treatment for dengue control: An epidemic model.

ABSTRACT: Assessing public health intervention strategies is crucial for effectively managing dengue. While numerous studies have explored the impact of dengue interventions on its transmission dynamics, limited research has focused on the combined effects of implementing multiple therapeutic interventions for disease control. This study presents an epidemic model for understanding dengue transmission dynamics, incorporating two critical therapeutic measures: vaccination and treatment of infected individuals. The model is characterized by ordinary differential equations involving seven-state variables. The investigation encompasses both disease-free and endemic equilibria of the model. The findings reveal that the disease-free equilibrium (only) is globally stable when the basic reproduction number
