Vector-borne diseases have long played a significant role in human mortality and public health crises in Brazil. Among these, neglected tropical diseases such as Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease require urgent attention. This paper develops a deterministic mathematical dynamical model to study the dynamics of mono and co-infection with Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. We begin with a rigorous mathematical analysis of the model, including the computation of the basic reproduction number R<inf>0</inf><sup>LC</sup> and its sensitivity indices, which help identify key parameters driving disease dynamics. The population's equilibrium states are studied in relation to this threshold parameter. Furthermore, we incorporate four control prevention into the model to evaluate the best intervention policy. Using a reliable data set from Brazil over a specified time period, we estimate model parameters and fit the data, demonstrating strong agreement between the model predictions and the actual data. Our graphical simulations further support the findings. Additionally, we compute and analyze the controlled reproduction number, confirming that the proposed policy 5 is the most effective in reducing the disease burden in Brazil. Finally, we rewrite the fractional version of the model and perform numerical simulations for different values of α. The fractional-order model is conceptually suitable for capturing memory effects and delay response in disease transmission dynamics. This study provides valuable insights for public health stakeholders and health care centers aiming to design efficient prevention and control programs for neglected vector-borne diseases.

In Pakistan, tuberculosis (TB) is still a significant public health concern. To address the socioeconomic and healthcare issues in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province, this study offers a novel mathematical model of tuberculosis transmission. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first optimal control study of SVEITR-TB dynamics in KPK, Pakistan, incorporating both classical and fractional-order modeling frameworks to capture memory effects and complex disease behavior. Model validity is ensured through existence and uniqueness analysis, and the basic reproduction number is used to predict future disease dynamics. Model stability is assessed using Routh-Hurwitz criteria, Castillo–Chavez theorem, and Lyapunov functions for disease-free and endemic scenarios. In addition, backward bifurcation analysis is discussed near the bifurcation point. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify the key parameters that affect disease spread. The Nonstandard Finite Difference (NSFD) technique is used for numerical simulations of the deterministic model, and the fractional RK2 approach is used to simulate the fractional-order formulation, showing the disease can be controlled over time. The findings show that the fractional RK2 scheme successfully captures the memory effects present in the fractional-order dynamics and improves numerical accuracy. Furthermore, optimal control strategies, including enhanced vaccination and enhanced treatment, are assessed using Pontryagin’s maximum principle. Simulations using the RK4 forward-backward sweep method show that strategy A is the most reliable for controlling TB among the control measures, with a highest cumulative efficiency index. This demonstrates that strategy A is the most suitable control measure, providing the greatest reduction in disease burden. Thus, we conclude that stockholders and policymakers can use strategy A to control TB in the future.

Fractional-order modeling of dengue dynamics: exploring reinfection mechanisms with the Atangana–Baleanu derivative

Dengue fever poses ongoing public health challenges due to its complex reinfection dynamics and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). To address limitations in classical models, this study proposes a novel fractional-order model utilizing the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo derivative to capture memory and non-local effects inherent in dengue transmission. The model explicitly incorporates reinfection mechanisms and stages of infection, offering a more accurate depiction of disease progression. The existence and uniqueness of solutions are established using fixed-point theory, and the global stability of equilibria is analyzed via Lyapunov methods. Model fitting with real-world data from Thailand in 2023 confirms predictive accuracy, while sensitivity analysis identifies the biting and mosquito mortality rates as critical parameters influencing the basic reproduction number. This framework enhances the realism of epidemic models and provides actionable insights for designing targeted public health interventions in dengue-endemic regions.

Atangana-Baleanu fractional optimal control for dengue dynamics with stability analysis

Dengue fever remains a critical public health concern, particularly in regions like Thailand, where the disease exhibits complex transmission dynamics involving human and mosquito populations. Traditional models often fail to address the intricacies of non-local interactions, memory effects, and control dynamics. This research introduces an innovative approach using fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) integrated with the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo sense. The model stratifies human and mosquito populations into detailed compartments, enabling a granular representation of transmission dynamics. The FOCP framework leverages fractional-order equations to incorporate memory-dependent and non-local interactions, ensuring biological feasibility and predictive accuracy. Computational results reveal that the model aligns closely with observed data for dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome across fractional orders ranging from 0.83 to 1.00. Sensitivity analyses identify critical parameters, such as biting rates and initial population sizes, as pivotal to disease control. The findings underscore the effectiveness of FOCPs in optimizing public health interventions, offer a robust tool for minimizing infection rates and associated costs. The theoretical global stability analysis confirms the model's reliability in predicting long-term outcomes under varying epidemiological scenarios. Future research could extend this framework to incorporate environmental variables, co-infections, and vaccination strategies, enhancing its applicability across diverse public health challenges. This study represents a significant step forward in the mathematical modeling of epidemic diseases, particularly in optimizing control measures for dengue fever.

Climate variability affects the changes in controlling diseases transferred by insects. An increase in the population, the growth of communities, and a lack of public health infrastructure bring about the return of diseases of which insects are carriers, one of the illness issues. Therefore, the disease control is significant to help reduce the burden on the government and strengthen the country's public health structure. This research proposes a novel approach to modeling dengue fever dynamics, we employ a fractional derivative model with the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo derivative, which offers a more accurate representation of real-world disease dynamics compared to traditional integer-order models. Basic qualifications are proposed. Equilibrium points and basic reproduction numbers are analyzed. The next-generation matrix method is used to identify the transmission. Besides, parameter sensitivity analysis is performed to learn about factors affecting input parameter values' effects on the basic reproduction number. It was found that the most common parameter affecting the transmission was the biting rate of mosquitoes was 1. In addition, the existence and uniqueness of the solution are examined using the Banach fixed point theorem. The Toufik–Atangana method is used for the numerical examination of a fractional version of the proposed model. We compared different values of fractional-order α=0.965, 0.975, 0.985, 0.995 and 1 it was found that when the order of derivatives decreases, the transmission shall decrease accordingly. This research provides valuable insights for developing effective control strategies to reduce the burden of dengue fever and strengthen public health systems.
