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.
7/18/2015

Transmission Process
• Pathogen?
Tuberculosis Bacilli (Koch, 1882).
• Where?
Lung.
• How?
Host-air-host
• Immunity?
Immune system
responds quickly
7/18/2015
Arizona State University
Immune System Response
• 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.
7/18/2015
Arizona State University
Immune System Response
• 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.
7/18/2015
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.
7/18/2015
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.

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 Resistant TB only
Coexistence
There are four possible equilibrium points:
E1 : disease-free equilibrium (always exists)
E2 : boundary equilibrium with L2 = I2 = 0 (R1 > 1; q = 0)
Sensitive TB only
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.

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.
