Abstract This paper describes a co-infected two-strain Dengue model with bilinear infection rate. Three efforts, namely awareness efforts to protect human from mosquitoes bites, treatment efforts for infected human and mosquitoes killing efforts are considered to eradicate the infections. The treatment reproduction number R0 of the model is derived, which provides whether Dengue can persist or not. The existence and the stability analysis of different equilibrium points have been investigated. Sotomayor theorem is employed to prove the existence of transcritical bifurcation of the model. The sensitivity analysis has been performed to identify the most effective parameter for controlling the Dengue infection. The model is also used as an optimal control problem as all the three efforts are considered as time dependent functions. The Pontryagin’s maximum principle has been used to characterize the optimal control. Numerical results show the positive impacts for implementing three controls to reduce the Dengue infections. Finally efficiency analysis is carried out, which shows that awareness efforts to protect human from mosquitoes bites along with treatment is more effective than the mosquitoes killing efforts along with treatment.

Introduction Mathematical modelling of different vector borne diseases is an important area of research [1–3]. The spreading of vector borne diseases has been occurring due to interaction of the hosts with the vectors. Dengue is a viral vector borne (mosquito-borne) infectious disease that is transmitted to human through the bites of the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus female mosquitoes. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), over 2.5 billion people of the world are now living at risk for Dengue disease which is usually found in

tropical and subtropical regions around the world [4–6]. In recent decades, Dengue infection has been made a global public health threat because of its high morbidity and mortality. The infection of Dengue is caused by the Dengue virus (DENV). DENV, a positive-stranded RNA virus, have mainly four strains denoted by DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4. These four strains have different interactions with the antibodies in human blood serum. DENV is co-circulated through all the four strains. An individual, who was affected by any Dengue strain, has lifetime immunity with respect to that particular strain, but not the other strains i.e. the in
