The following general assumptions hold: Both mosquitos (=vectors) and humans are neither born infected nor resistant. The size of the human population (Nh ) is constant at any time. Furthermore the size of the human population is sufficiently large, such that the state variables can be assumed to be continuous real functions of time. Neither emigration nor immigration are considered. The passing of a certain percentage of the population is modeled through the proportionality factor µh , with 1/µh denoting an average lifespan. The same holds for the adult mosquito population with factor µm and the mosquitos in the aquatic phase with factor µA . Humans recover from the disease (of any serotype) at a rate ηh . A mosquito in the aquatic phase requires 1/ηA days to grow up. Mosquitos from compartment Am are removed with proportionality factor ηA and join the compartment Sm . Every (female) adult mosqito leaves ϕ eggs at one breeding place per day. The reproduction of the mosquito population is modeled using logistic growth. This considers the possible amount of eggs a (human-build) breeding place can hold. As the capacity bound kNh is chosen. Homogeneity between the populations is assumed, thus, with the same probability every female mosquito bites every human host. Per day, one female mosquito, averagely, bites B-times and human individuals become infected with the probability βmh . The product Bβmh represents the contact rate between infected female mosquitos and susceptible humans. The contact rate of infected humans and susceptible female mosquitos is modeled analogously. This model does not consider an impact of the disease on lifespans.

(2013b):

Only susceptible human subjects are vaccinated with a vaccine that acts against both serotypes, but infected humans are not vaccinated here, even after an initial infection. Depending on the vector they come into contact with, humans either change to the compartment Ih1 or Ih2 . After a primary infection, the same holds for the compartments Ih12 , Ih21 .

The vaccination model includes a pediatric vaccination with a time-dependent control p(t) ∈ [0, 1] and an imperfect random mass vaccination with a time-dependent control ψ(t) ∈ [0, 1]. Two important constants appear: The efficiency of the vaccine is modeled by 1 − σ ∈ [0, 1]. σ = 0 denotes a high efficiency of the vaccine, whereas σ = 1 indicates that the vaccine has no effect. If σ > 0 also certain vaccinated individuals can be infected, see Fig. 1. A possible waning imunity is modeled by θ ∈ [0, 1]. In the numerical computations we use σ = 0.2 (efficiency 80%) and θ = 0.05.

Fig. 1. Compartment model of the two serotype dengue model with vaccination ˜ is positive invariant for the Lemma 2: The set Ω [resp. Ω] ODE (3), (4) [resp. (1), (2)].

disease free equilibrium: only healthy (susceptible or vaccinated) humans, only healthy (but susceptible) mosquitos.

Proof: The ODE can be written as X˙ = A(X)X + F with a Metzler Matrix A(X) and F ≥ 0 and apply Abate et al. (2009); Mitkowski (2008).

We use the abbreviation M = ϕηA − ηA µm − µA µm .

∗ ∗ , Im in the The lengthy formulas of Sh∗ , Vh∗ , Ih∗ , Rh∗ , A∗m , Sm ˜ ˜ endemic boundary equilibria E3 and E4 are the same as in the endemic equilibrium E3 of Theorem 3.

Theorem 3: The ODE (3), (4) has in Ω (depending on the parameter values) at most the equilibria:

Proof: Remark 1 with Theorem 3.

h +θ) Nh (µh p+ψ) E1 = ( Nh ((1−p)µ , µh +θ+ψ , 0, 0 | 0, 0, 0) µh +θ+ψ trivial equilibrium: only healthy (susceptible or vaccinated) humans, no mosquitos.

Remark 5: Suppose the presented model is sufficiently accurate. For a city without vaccination p = ψ = 0 holds. In a city without asian tiger mosquitos (and no dengue infected travellers) we are currently in the trivial equilibrium E1 . In a city with an asian tiger mosquito population and no dengue infected travellers we are currently in the equilibrium E2 .

∗ ∗ E3 = (Sh∗ , Vh∗ , Ih∗ , Rh∗ | A∗m , Sm , Im ) endemic equilibrium.

Question 6: What happens if we introduce a small number of dengue infected travellers into a city with no asian tiger mosquito population?

Proof: See the MAPLE computation in Fischer (2016), the formula for E3 consists of several pages. Theorem 4: The ODE (1), (2) has the following equilib˜ for certain values of the parameters: ria, which are in Ω ˜1 = ( Nh ((1−p)µh +θ) , Nh (µh p+ψ) , 0, . . . , 0 | 0, . . . , 0) E µh +θ+ψ µh +θ+ψ trivial equilibrium: only healthy (susceptible or vaccinated) humans, no mosquitos.

Answer: If we assume, that the presented model is sufficiently accurate (i.e. currently only up to two of the four serotypes are virulent and especially other mosquitos do not transmit the disease), we will again approach the trivial equilibrium E1 . (Proof: Solution of the initial value problem.)

Question 7: What happens if we introduce a (sufficiently) small number of dengue infected travellers into a city with a previously healthy asian tiger mosquito population?

In order to get an answer, we have to do some computation.

Certain special cases of this result for the ODE (3), (4) can be found in Rodrigues et al.

Partial answer to Question 7: Assume, Theorem 9 can be ˜2 globally stable. If the model paramestrengthened to E ters fulfill R0 < 1 the solution will approach the disease ˜2 , which is favourable. Otherwise the free equilibrium E disease will become endemic, which is not favourable.

In the human population the total number of infected persons is almost doubled in the event of an outbreak, whereas the increase in the total infected population of the vector is 1.5 times higher compared to the one serotype model. This is a significant and unexpected increase since the initial values for the diseased persons differ from those in the basic model only in that the Ih (0) = 38 infected humans are divided into Ih1 (0) = Ih2 (0) = 19 in each of the two serotypes. But note the change from δ1 = δ2 = 0 in the one serotype model to δ1 = δ2 = 1 in the two serotype model. Another aspect that should be noticed is the number of resistant individuals. At the end of the observation period, not all individuals are immune to both serotypes, but about 7 000 individuals remain in compartment Rh1 and Rh2 . Therefore, some people were not affected by secondary infections. Although the total number of inital infected humans was the same, the presence of another serotype has a considerable effect on the severity of a disease outbreak. In addition, many more risky secondary infections occur. If, thus, infections with dengue are identified, it has to be ascertained as soon as possible whether only one serotype is present or a second serotype has to be dealt with. Since secondary infections also increase the risk of a haemorrhagic course of dengue fever, in the presence of several serotypes effective countermeasures should be initiated as soon as possible.

4. NUMERICAL SIMULATION We consider a numerical simulation with δ1 = δ2 = 1 and without vaccination (p = ψ = 0) for the following initial values Ih1 (0) = Ih2 (0) = 19, Ih12 (0) = Ih21 (0) = 0, Vh (0) = 0, Rh (0) = 0, Sh (0) = Nh − [Ih1 (0) + Ih2 (0) + Ih12 (0) + Ih21 (0)] − 1 Vh (0) − Rh (0), Am (0) = kNh , Sm (0) = mNh , Im (0) = 2 Im (0) = 0 and the following parameters B = 0.8, βmh = 1 , ηh = 13 , µm = 0.1, ϕ = 6, βhm = 0.375, µh = 80·365 µA = 0.25, ηA = 0.08, m = 3, k = 3, Nh = 383 000. With the numerical simulation we obtain approximately the same results as for the one serotype model. There is an outbreak of the disease between the 50th and 100th day, after which no further infections can be detected for a period of one year. The number of individuals with an initial infection is approximately 34 000 for each serotype at the time of the outbreak. There holds: Ih1 ≡ Ih2 and Ih12 ≡ Ih21 and Rh1 = Rh2 . The peak values for each serotype are 27 000, which together reveal an enormous increase in contrast to the numbers in the basic model. The number of infected mosquitos is approximately 167 000 for each serotype at the time of the outbreak. There holds: 1 2 ≡ Im . Im 4

5. OPTIMAL CONTROL Numerical solutions were computed by a direct transcription of the optimal control problem to a nonlinear programming problem (NLP). The resulting NLP was solved via the modelling language AMPL (Fourer et al. (2003)) and the interior point method IPOPT (W¨achter and Biegler (2006)). In order to stabilize the numerical solution a scaling of the state variables was applied:

(In the one serotype model (3), (4) we use i(t) = Ih /Nh .) It is also conceivable to specify individual weights for all compartments containing infected individuals. Thus, it would be possible to place different weights on the reduction of primary and secondary infections. The aim could be to prevent secondary infections as much as possible, since these have a higher probability of inducing amniotic dengue fever. If one of the serotypes shows a higher virulence or aggravation of secondary infections, it is also possible with individual weights to keep the number of occurring fatalities as low as possible for this serotype. However, here no distinction was made: The parameters δi for the secondary infection were both set to 1, which excludes the effect of an initial infection on a secondary infection.

Fig. 7. Optimal random mass vaccination ψ(t) in the 3 cases A, B, C whereas Case C is the most cost-effective. In contrast to the model with only one serotype, the costs in cases A and C increase to the triple and in case B even to the quadruple. The occurrence of several serotypes therefore has severe implications on the optimal costs of the used cost functional.

We consider three different scenarios. Case A is a general intermediate scenario. In case B a very expensive (hospital) treatment of infected humans is modeled. Case C simulates the case of a very expensive serum.

If we now analyze the optimal vaccination strategies in Fig. 7, we find that the strategy for the application of random mass vaccination is similar to that of the one serotype model. In cases A and C, the curves reach about 1.5 times the value in comparison to the results of the one serotype model. Moreover, in case B the peak is about double in comparison to the results of the one serotype model. In case C with the expensive serum,

In Table 1 the numerical results of the optimization are presented. The one serotype model is chosen in accordance with Remark 1. In the Figures 5-8 the numerical results for the new two serotype model are demonstrated. It is clear from Table 1 that the occurrence of two serotypes causes huge additional costs if countermeasures only include vaccination. Case B is again the most expensive, 5

Fig. 8. Optimal pediatric vaccination p(t) in the 3 cases A, B, C the optimal use of pediatric vaccination is identical. The random mass vaccination rate is slightly lower in the case of two serotypes, so that a pronounced vaccination occurs at the time of the disease outbreak. In Case A, on the other hand, a continuous vaccination with 1.8-fold compared to before is advisable. Overall, the outbreak of the second infections can only be controlled indirectly by vaccination strategies. However, this is due to the structuring of the model. Comparing the use of vaccination with the simulations makes it clear that the number of primary infections decreases as much as in the model with only one serotype. 6. CONCLUSION The pediatric vaccination is (almost) negligable. Significantly higher infection numbers can be seen in the two serotype model versus the one serotype model, if comparable scenarios (see Remark 1) are used. One reason seems to be the following: In this variant of the model secondary infections can only be controlled indirectly. No random mass vaccination is applied to the compartments Rh1 and Rh2 . On the other hand, secondary infections are potentially more dangerous and cause higher economic costs. As a consequence, it seems to be especially important to vaccinate the infected humans resp. those recovered from an infection with one serotype. In the future, an updated model including an additional vaccination of the compartments Rh1 and Rh2 will be analyzed.
