DYNAMIC MODEL OF RIVER BLINDNESS DISEASE WITH CONTROL
Abstract
River blindness, or onchocerciasis, is a parasitic disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus, transmitted through the bites of infected blackflies. This disease remains a significant public health issue, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control strategies are essential to mitigate its impact. This study presents a dynamic model of river blindness, incorporating control measures such as vector control, mass drug administration (MDA), and community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI). The model is constructed using a system of nonlinear differential equations to represent the transmission dynamics between the human and vector populations.
Key parameters are estimated from existing epidemiological data and literature. The model investigates the impact of different control strategies on the prevalence and incidence of river blindness over time. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify the most influential parameters affecting disease dynamics. Numerical simulations demonstrate the potential of integrated control measures in reducing the burden of river blindness. The results suggest that a combination of vector control and regular MDA can significantly lower the infection rates and bring the disease under control.
Furthermore, the model explores the long-term sustainability of control programs and the conditions required for the potential elimination of river blindness. The findings underscore the importance of continuous and coordinated efforts in endemic regions. This dynamic model serves as a valuable tool for public health policymakers to design and optimize intervention strategies, ultimately contributing to the global goal of eliminating river blindness as a public health problem.
