Optimal control of vaccine distribution in a rabies metapopulation model by Erika Asano, Louis J. Gross, Suzanne Lenhart, Leslie A. Real

“…We apply optimal control theory to find the best timing for dis-tribution of vaccine in each of the linked subpopulations across the landscape.This strategy is chosen to limit the disease optimally by making the numberof infections as small as possible while accounting for the cost of vaccination.…”

Optimal control applied to vaccination and treatmentstrategies for various epidemiological models by Holly Gaff, Elsa Schaefer

“…Mathematical models provide a powerful tool for investigating thedynamics and control of infectious diseases, but quantifying theunderlying epidemic structure can be challenging especially for newand under-studied diseases.Variations of standard SIR, SIRS, and SEIR epidemiologicalmodels are considered to determine the sensitivity of these models tovarious parameter values that may not be fully known when the models areused to investigate emerging diseases. Optimal control theory is appliedto suggest the most effective mitigationstrategy to minimize the number of individuals who become infected in thecourse of an infection while efficiently balancingvaccination and treatment applied to the models with various costscenarios. …”
