In this research, we developed a coinfection model of tuberculosis and COVID-19 with the effect of isolation and treatment. We obtained two equilibria, namely, disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium. Disease-free equilibrium is a state in which no infection of tuberculosis and COVID-19 occurs. Endemic equilibrium is a state in which there occurs not only the infection of tuberculosis and COVID-19 but also the coinfection of tuberculosis and COVID-19. We assumed that the parameters follow the uniform distribution, and then, we took 1,000 samples of each parameter using Latin hypercube sampling (LHS). Next, the samples were sorted by ranking. Finally, we used the partial rank correlation coefficient (PRCC) to find the correlation between the parameters with compartments. We analyzed the PRCC for three compartments, namely, individuals infected with COVID-19, individuals infected with tuberculosis, and individuals coinfected with COVID-19 and tuberculosis. The most sensitive parameters are the recovery rate and the infection rate of each COVID-19 and tuberculosis. We performed the optimal control in the form of prevention for COVID-19 and tuberculosis. The numerical simulation shows that these controls effectively reduce the infected population. We also concluded that the effect of isolation has an immediate impact on reducing the number of COVID-19 infections, while the effect of treatment has an impact that tends to take a longer time.

This work examines the impacts of self-isolation and hospitalization on the population dynamics of the Corona Virus Disease. We developed a new nonlinear deterministic model eight classes compartment, with self-isolation and hospitalized being the most effective tools. There are (Susceptible S-C(t), Exposed E(t), Asymptomatic infected I-A(t), Symptomatic infected A(S)(t), Self-isolation T-M(t), Hospitalized T-H(t), Healed H(t), and Susceptible individuals previously infected H-C(t)). The expression of basic reproduction number R-0 comes from the next generation matrix method. With suitably constructed Lyapunov functions, the global asymptotic stability of the non-endemic equilibria sigma(0) for R-0 < 1 and that of endemic equilibria sigma* for R-0 > 1 are established. The computed value of R-0 = 3.120277403 proves the endemic level of the epidemic. The outbreak will lessen if a policy is enforced like self-isolation and hospitalization. This is related to those policies that can reduce the number of direct contacts between infected and susceptible individuals or waning immunity individuals. Various simulations are presented to appreciate self-isolation at home and hospitalized strategies if applied sensibly. By performing a global sensitivity analysis, we can obtain parameter values that affect the model through a combination of Latin Hypercube Sampling and Partial Rating Correlation Coefficients methods to determine the parameters that affect the number of reproductions and the increase in the number of COVID cases. The results obtained show that the rate of self-isolation at home and the rate of hospitalism have a negative relationship. On the other hand, infections will decrease when the two parameters increase. From the sensitivity of the results, we formulate a control model using optimal control theory by considering two control variables. The result shows that the control strategies minimize the spread of the COVID infection in the population.

The use of a vaccine and Wolbachia bacterium have been proposed as new strategies against dengue. However, the performance of Wolbachia in reducing dengue incidence may depend on the Wolbachia strains. Therefore, in this paper, the performance of two Wolbachia strains which are WMel and WAu, in combination with the vaccine, has been assessed by using an age-dependent mathematical model. An effective reproduction number has been calculated using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm. The results revealed that the time reproduction number varies overtime with the highest one being around 2.75. Moreover, it has also found that use of the vaccine and Wolbachia possibly leads to dengue elimination. Furthermore, vaccination on one group only reduces dengue incidence in that group but dengue infection in the other group is still high. Furthermore, the performance of the WAu strain is better than the WMel strain in reducing dengue incidence. However, both strains can still be used for dengue elimination strategies depending on the level of loss of Wolbachia infections in both strains.
