Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a serious global health threat, with transmission dynamics significantly influenced by vector control strategies and human behavior. This study constructs and analyzes a differential equation-based mathematical model to investigate dengue transmission dynamics by integrating three control strategies: medical treatment, mass awareness, and the release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes. The basic reproduction number (R0) is derived using the Next Generation Matrix (NGM) method as a threshold quantity for disease transmission. Simulation results demonstrate that when parameter values satisfy the condition R0 1, the system trajectories converge to the disease-free equilibrium, implying that the disease will be eliminated over time. Conversely, modifying parameters δ and p such that R0 1 results in system stability at the endemic equilibrium, indicating disease persistence within the population. This study concludes the importance of controlling these key parameters through integrated interventions to reduce the value of R0 to less than unity
