Abstract
We formulate a non-linear system of differential equations that models the dynamics of transmission of dengue fever. We consider vertical and mechanic al transmission in the vector population, and study the effects that they h ave on the dynamics of the disease. A qualitative analysis as well as some numerical examples are given for the model. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
