Abstract

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a disease of a major concern in the developing world because it adversely affects on health and finance of a large chunk of people in this part of the world. This paper is aim to develop an extend and improve the optimal control model of typhoid transmission dynamics that can select the best cost-effective strategy for some interventions. Thus, an optimal control model for typhoid, incorporating control functions representing measures of personal hygiene and sanitation, diagnosis and treatment, and vaccination, was formulated. The corresponding optimality system was characterized via the Pontryagin’s maximum principle. The optimality system was numerically simulated for all possible strategies using Runge-Kutta method of order four. For cost-effectiveness analysis, the method of incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was employed. The results show that the model is able to select the most cost-effective strategy for any given set of parameter values and initial conditions.

Key words:  Optimal control, Pontryagin’s maximum principle, cost-effectiveness
