  1. Yellow Fever in Senegal Hannah Isaac

  2. Outline • Disease Background • Model • Comparison with Data • Model Predictions • Conclusions and Further Work

  3. Disease Background • First account of sickness diagnosed as YF occurred in 1648 • Causative agent: genus Flavivirus • Vector: Aedes aegypti (mosquito) • Nonhuman primates maintain disease http://www.tel.hr/public-health/bolesti/krpeljni2.htm http://www.gemsvt.org/middle/grade7/science/resources.htm http://www.ahajokes.com/crt050.html

  4. Cycles of YF Transmission Jungle Village City MOSQUITO MOSQUITO MOSQUITO HUMAN, MONKEY HUMAN HUMAN MONKEY MOSQUITO MOSQUITO MOSQUITO www.who.int

  5. Model Simplifications • Endemic presence of disease in the jungle • Consider urban outbreak only • Disease brought to city though movement of infected humans (initial condition) http://www.ac-grenoble.fr/irem/sergesimplification.htm

  6. Exposed* Infective** Recovered*** Susceptible Vaccinated *Virus incubating **Contagious ***Includes: survivors, victims, Immune The SEVIR Model Humans can be in one of five categories at a time

  7. Assumptions • 100% transmission • Linear vaccination term, 1 week lag • Pesticides affect the birth rate continuously • No mosquito larval stage • Homogeneous mixing of people

  8. Exposed Vaccinated Vaccinated Immune Exposed Exposed Infective System of Equations: Humans

  9. Infective Recovered Dead System of Equations: Humans The Mathemagician http://www.mathsci.appstate.edu/u/math/sjg/simpsonsmath/index.html

  10. Birth Death & Infective Exposed Exposed Birth & Death Death Infective System of Equations: Mosquitoes

  11. Parameters • Humans: • Population: NH = 800 000 • Incubation rate: δ = 1/12 (people/day) • Death rate: ψ = 0.08/14 (people/day) • Recovery rate: r = 0.92/14 (people/day) http://www.aclassmedicine.org/diet.html

  12. Parameters Cont’d • Mosquitoes: • Number of Mosquitoes: NM = 100 000 000 • Biting rate: μ = 1/10 (bites/day·mosquito) • Birth rate*: α = 0.11 (mosquitoes/day) • Death rate: β = 0.25 (mosquitoes/day) • Incubation rate: ε = 1/12 (mosquitoes/day) *Low due to insecticide use

  13. Model vs. Data for 2002 Outbreak Cumulative Cases Days

  14. New Cases Days The “Epidemic Curve” Clear peak at ~20 days, no new Infections after 100 days

  15. Predictive Power • Parameters can be changed to make useful predictions: • Changing control parameters • Varying disease introduction

  16. Cumulative Cases Days Without Pesticide Controlled epidemic (vaccine) with a higher number of total cases (~400)

  17. Cumulative Cases Days Without Vaccine Controlled epidemic (pesticide) with a higher number of total cases (~450)

  18. Cumulative Cases Days No Controls (pesticide or vaccine) Disease is rampant!

  19. Cumulative Cases Days Introduction of Disease Through Pre-Contagious Humans Vaccine takes effect before contagious period begins

  20. Conclusions • Single urban compartment well-described by model • Parameter adjustment has realistic effects • Future models should include progression through jungle and village
