Résumé

Dengue fever is a major health concern in tropical and subtropical regions, affecting millions annually. This study develops an epidemic model to evaluate the combined effects of vaccination and treatment on dengue transmission. The model uses ordinary differential equations to examine the dynamics of susceptible, vaccinated, infected, treated and recovered individuals in human and mosquito populations. Key findings indicate that a highly effective vaccine can significantly reduce dengue incidence, but optimal control is achieved through a combined approach of vaccination and treatment.
