Abstract
In this paper, a deterministic compartmental eco- epidemiological
model with optimal control of Newcastle disease (ND) in Tanzania
is proposed and analysed. Necessary conditions of optimal control
problem were rigorously analysed using Pontryagin’s maximum
principle and the numerical values of model parameters were estimated
using maximum likelihood estimator. Three control strategies
were incorporated such as chicken vaccination (preventive),
human education campaign and treatment of infected human (curative)
and its’ impact were graphically observed. The incremental cost
effectiveness analysis technique used to determine the most cost
effectiveness strategy and we observe that combination of chicken
vaccination and human education campaign strategy is the best
strategy to implement in limited resources. Therefore,NDcan be controlled
if the farmers will apply chicken vaccination properly and well
in time.
