Abstract
Dengue fever is a re-emergent disease affecting more than 100 countries. Its incidence rate has increased fourfold since 1970 with nearly half the world’s population now at risk. In the chapter, a mathematical model with immunization is proposed to simulate the succession of 2 epidemics with variable human populations. Stability of the equilibrium points is carried out and simulation is given for different parameters settings.
