Resumo: | Dengue is a vector-borne disease considered one of the major concerns in public health. Measures can be used to reduce the impact of the mosquito around the houses. In this paper, the main focus is mosquito bites prevention through the use of personal protective measures (PPM), such as skin repellent and bed nets. It is proposed a system with six ordinary differential equations, modeling the interaction human-mosquito. At the same time, a functional, related to the household costs with these measures, is added. The aim is the studying optimal control analysis to understand the best way of applying these measures. It is concluded that the application of skin repellent and treated bed nets have as impact on the reduction of infected people and at the same time contributes to the flattening of dengue cases, which could lead to better health cares for each patient. |
