Long History of Prevalence
• TB has a long history.
• TB transferred from animal-populations.
• Huge prevalence.
• It was a one of the most fatal diseases.
04/22/23 Arizona State University
• Pathogen? Tuberculosis Bacilli (Koch, 1882).• Where? Lung.• How? Host-air-host• Immunity? Immune system responds quickly
Transmission Process
04/22/23 Arizona State University
• Bacteria invades lung tissue• White cells surround the invaders
and try to destroy them.• Body builds a wall of cells and
fibers around the bacteria to confine them, forming a small hard lump.
Immune System Response
04/22/23 Arizona State University
• Bacteria cannot cause more damage as long as the confining walls remain unbroken.
• Most infected individuals never progress to active TB.
• Most remain latently-infected for life.
• Infection progresses and develops into active TB in less than 10% of the cases.
Immune System Response
04/22/23 Arizona State University
Current Situations• Two million people around the world die of TB
each year.• Every second someone is infected with TB today.• One third of the world population is infected with
TB (the prevalence in the US around 10-15% ).• Twenty three countries in South East Asia and Sub
Saharan Africa account for 80% total cases around the world.
• 70% untreated actively infected individuals die.
04/22/23 Arizona State University
Reasons for TB Persistence
• Co-infection with HIV/AIDS (10% who are HIV positive are also TB infected)
• Multi-drug resistance is mostly due to incomplete treatment
• Immigration accounts for 40% or more of all new recent cases.
04/22/23 Arizona State University
Basic Model Framework
• N=S+E+I+T, Total population• F(N): Birth and immigration rate• B(N,S,I): Transmission rate (incidence)• B`(N,S,I): Transmission rate (incidence)

A two-strain TB model(Castillo-Chavez and Feng, JMB, 1997)
Drug sensitive strain TB - Treatment for active TB: 12 months - Treatment for latent TB: 9 months - DOTS (directly observed therapy strategy) - In the US bout 22% of patients currently fail to complete their
treatment within a 12-month period and in some areas the failure rate reaches 55% (CDC, 1991)
Multi-drug resistant strain TB - Infection by direct contact - Infection due to incomplete treatment of sensitive TB - Patients may die shortly after being diagnosed - Expensive treatment

Equilibria and stability
There are four possible equilibrium points:
E1 : disease-free equilibrium (always exists)
E2 : boundary equilibrium with L2 = I2 = 0 (R1 > 1; q = 0)
E3 : interior equilibrium with I1 > 0 and I2 > 0 (conditional)
E4 : boundary equilibrium with L1 = I1 = 0 (R2 > 1)

Optimal control strategies of TB through treatment of sensitive TB
Jung, E., Lenhart, S. and Feng, Z. (2002), Optimal control of treatments in a two-strain tuberculosis model, Discrete and
Continuous Dynamical Systems
“Case holding", which refers to activities and techniques used to ensure regularity of drug intake for a duration adequate to achieve a cure
“Case finding", which refers to the identification (through screening, for example) of individuals latently infected with sensitive TB who are at high risk of developing the disease and who may benefit from preventive intervention
These preventive treatments will reduce the incidence (new cases per unit of time) of drug sensitive TB and hence indirectly reduce the incidence of drug resistant TB

Numerical Method: An iteration method Jung, E., Lenhart, S. and Feng, Z. (2002), Optimal control of treatments in a two-strain tuberculosis model, Discrete and
Continuous Dynamical Systems
1. Guess the value of the control over the simulated time.
2. Solve the state system forward in time using the Runge-Kutta scheme.
3. Solve the adjoint system backward in time using the Runge-Kutta scheme using the solution of the state equations from 2.
4. Update the control by using a convex combination of the previous control and the value from the characterization.
5. Repeat the these process of until the difference of values of unknowns at the present iteration and the previous iteration becomes negligibly small.

Logistic Growth (cont’d)
If R2* >1
• When R0 1, the disease dies out at an exponential rate. The decay rate is of the order of R0 – 1.
• Model is equivalent to a monotone system. A general version of Poincaré-Bendixson Theorem is used to show that the endemic state (positive equilibrium) is globally stable whenever R0 >1.
• When R0 1, there is no qualitative difference between logistic and exponential growth.

Conclusions on Density-dependent Demography
• Most relevant population growth patterns handled with the examples.
• Qualitatively all demographic patterns have the same impact on TB dynamics.
• In the case R0<1, both exponential growth and logistic grow lead to the exponential decay of TB cases at the rate of R0-1.
• When parameters are in a particular region, theoretically model predicts that TB could regulate the entire population.
•However, today, real parameters are unlikely to fall in that region.
04/22/23 Arizona State University
A fatal disease
• Leading cause of death in the past, accounted for one third of all deaths in the 19th century.
• One billion people died of TB during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
