In this paper, a mathematical model of hepatitis B disease with a two-dose vaccine series has been formulated and analyzed. We demonstrated that the model’s disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number R 0 is less than one, whereas the model’s endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R 0 is greater than one. Sensitivity analysis is performed, and based on its results, the model is extended to an optimal control problem by incorporating two control interventions, namely, prevention and enhanced newborn vaccination. Finally, simulation analyses of the model are conducted to illustrate the theoretical findings and effectiveness of each strategy, which indicates that the use of prevention efforts is the most cost-saving strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
