초록본문(Abstract) Dengue, also known as breakbone fever, is the most common and rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease. The virus, belonging to the genus Flavivirus, is carried and transmitted by the mosquito of the Aedes genus, commonly the Aedes egypti and Aedes albopictus. Mosquitoes generally acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person (WHO, 2009).

The study aims to construct a mathematical model, using the SIR framework, that will capture the dynamics of dengue disease in the Philippines. Both the human population and the vector population are considered non-constant. Furthermore, the vector population is divided into the aquatic and adult phases. We also introduce control parameters in these two phases. We solve for the basic reproduction rate that will incite the epidemic, investigate the stability of the equilibrium states of the model, and derive conditions for stability, if necessary. Numerical simulations will test and validate the model using data obtained from the Philippine Department of Health and Rodrigues et al (2012).
