Cost-Effectiveness and Optimal Control of Hantavirus Transmission in Rodent Populations

B1 Crossref Works API · 2026-03-27 · United States

In this paper, we formulate and analyze a deterministic optimal control model for the transmission dynamics of hantavirus infection in rodent populations and identify economically efficient intervention strategies. The model incorporates three time-dependent controls: rodent harvesting, transmission reduction, and alien-oriented control. By applying Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle, we derive the Hamiltonian, the adjoint system, and explicit characterizations of the optimal controls, leading to the corresponding optimality system. Numerical solutions are obtained using a forward-backward sweep a
