Modeling, dynamics and optimal control of Ebola virus spread
We present a mathematical analysis of the early detection of Ebola virus. The propagation of the virus is analysed by using a Susceptible, Infected, Recovered (SIR) model. In order to provide useful predictions about the potential transmission of the virus, we analyse and simulate the SIR model with vital dynamics, by adding demographic effects and an induced death rate. Then, we compute the equilibria of the model. The numerical simulations confirm the theoretical analysis. Our study describes the 2015 detection of Ebola virus in Guinea, the parameters of the model being identified from the World Health Organization data. Finally, we consider an optimal control problem of the propagation of the Ebola virus, minimizing the number of infected individuals while taking into account the cost of vaccination.

Predicting and controlling the Ebola infection
We present a comparison between two different mathematical models used in the description of the Ebola virus propagation currently occurring in West Africa. In order to improve the prediction and the control of the propa…
Mathematical Modelling, Simulation, and Optimal Control of the 2014 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa
The Ebola virus is currently one of the most virulent pathogens for humans. The latest major outbreak occurred in Guinea, Sierra Leonne and Liberia in 2014. With the aim of understanding the spread of infection in the af…
Assessing the Efficiency of \textit{Cordon Sanitaire} as a Control Strategy of Ebola

Mapping of Ebola virus spillover: Suitability and seasonal variability at the landscape scale
The unexpected Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa in 2014 involving the Zaire ebolavirus made clear that other regions outside Central Africa, its previously documented niche, were at risk of future epidemics. The compl…
Predicting the extinction of Ebola spreading in Liberia due to mitigation strategies
The Ebola virus is spreading throughout West Africa and is causing thousands of deaths. In order to quantify the effectiveness of different strategies for controlling the spread, we develop a mathematical model in which …
