| dc.description.abstract | Maize streak virus disease, caused by the maize streak virus, has been identified as severe vector-borne disease in Africa. In most regions of the continent, the disease is generally uncontrolled, and in epidemic years, it contributes to massive yield losses and famine. We propose a Holling-type predation functional response to explore the disease transmission. We show the sensitivity indices of various embedded parameters in the basic reproduction number. To illustrate the dynamics of the disease of the maize–leafhopper interaction, we perform a numerical simulation, and the results are graphically displayed. Incorporating four control methods (infection control, predation control, removal of infected maize plants, and insecticide application) into the basic model yields an optimal control issue. We used the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio technique to evaluate the most cost-effective combination of the four controls. We notice that the most cost-effective strategy combines the simultaneous adoption of the four controls. | |
