Abstract
MONTOYA, Cristhian and ROMERO–LEITON, Jhoana P.. Mathematical modelling for malaria under resistance and population movement. Integración - UIS [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.2, pp.133-163. Epub June 30, 2020. ISSN 0120-419X. https://doi.org/10.18273/revint.v38n2-2020006.
In this work, two mathematical models for malaria under resistance are presented. More precisely, the first model shows the interaction between humans and mosquitoes inside a patch under infection of malaria when the human population is resistant to antimalarial drug and mosquitoes popula[1]tion is resistant to insecticides. For the second model, human–mosquitoes population movements in two patches is analyzed under the same malaria transmission dynamic established in a patch. For a single patch, existence and stability conditions for the equilibrium solutions in terms of the local ba[1]sic reproductive number are developed. These results reveal the existence of a forward bifurcation and the global stability of disease–free equilibrium. In the case of two patches, a theoretical and numerical framework on sensitivity analysis of parameters is presented. After that, the use of antimalarial drugs and insecticides are incorporated as control strategies and an optimal control problem is formulated. Numerical experiments are carried out in both models to show the feasibility of our theoretical results.
