Abstract

A host-vector disease model with insecticide resistance genes is proposed as a system of differential equations. The resistance-induced reproduction number \({\mathcal {R}}_e\) is determined and qualitative stabilities analysis are provided. We use the model to study the effects of insecticide resistance of vectors on the spread of the disease. The resistance-induced reproduction number \({\mathcal {R}}_e\) is compared with the basic reproduction number \(({\mathcal {R}}_0)\) in the absence of resistant strain to assess the effects of insecticide resistance.
