Optimal control of chikungunya disease: Larvae reduction, treatment and prevention by Djamila Moulay, M. A. Aziz-Alaoui, Hee-Dae Kwon

“…The nature of these arboviruses is complex since it conjugates human, environmental, biological and geographical factors.Recent researchs have suggested, in particular during the Réunion Island epidemic in 2006, that the transmission by Aedes albopictus (an Aedes genus specie) has been facilitated by genetic mutations of the virus and the vector capacity to adapt to non tropical regions.In this paper we formulate an optimal control problem, based on biological observations. …”
