A Kinetic Theory Based Model for Dengue Transmission

Abstract

Dengue is the most critical mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in the tropical and subtropical countries. Due to large number of dengue outbreaks, understanding the dynamical behavior of the disease transmission provides efficient platform to control the spread of risk. In this study, using kinetic theory a simple mathematical model is derived to describe the dynamics of the dengue transmission. By ignoring the space factor model is simplified and simulation results of simplified model is compared with classical compartment model using Matlab.
