Theoretical Study of a Model for Dengue and its Co- Endemicity with Chikungunya Virus

Abstract

A deterministic nonlinear mathematical model describing the
population dynamics for Dengue and Chikungunya virus taken into
consideration the effect of misdiagnosis due to the co-endemicity of the
two viruses in the human population. It is necessary to understand the
most important parameters involved in their dynamics that may help in
the development strategies for prevention, control, and joint treatments.
The model is rigorously analyzed qualitatively and thresholds for
eradication are established.
