Abstract

In this paper, a compartmental model is proposed to study the impact of awareness on the dynamics of dengue with the role of mosquito control strategies. The awareness is the responsiveness against the disease while control strategies are the effort due to which the mosquitoes are killed at constant rate. It is assumed that due to awareness of the disease some susceptible and all recovered individuals are entering into the aware class by following necessary precautionary measures to protect themselves from mosquito bites. It is clearly seen that the increase in the awareness rate decreases the densities of infectious populations of human as well as mosquitoes. But the elimination of the disease depends only on the killing rate of mosquitoes due the mosquito control efforts.
