Abstract
Dengue viruses (DENV) are transmitted to humans by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. It is known that dengue virus infection in Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes makes a change in the feeding behavior of the infected mosquitoes. In this study, using the forces of infection, we incorporated the effect of changes in the feeding behavior of mosquitoes into the standard vector-borne SIR-SI model. It has been proved that both a single-strain model and a two-strain model exhibit forward bifurcations. Moreover, optimal implementations of control with specific prevention measures for dengue transmission are analyzed. As a result we found that more implementation of controls on the secondary infection of humans should be considered for the behavioral changes in feeding of the infected mosquitoes.
