The Dynamical Model of Dengue Vertical Transmission

Dengue disease is usually found in many parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, South America and Australia. Dengue disease can pass from one individual to another by two distinct mechanisms such as horizontal transmission and vertical transmission. In horizontal transmission, susceptible individuals can be infected by direct or indirect contacts with infectious individuals who are stays at the same time. Vertical transmission means to direct transmission from infected parents to their offspring before or during birth. In this study, the dynamical model of dengue disease was formulated by considering the vertical transmission in Aedes mosquitoes. The analysis of our model was given. The results of this study should introduce the alternative ways to reduce the dengue outbreak.
