Abstract
This research builds on a model for West Nile Virus that uses optimal control theory to determine cost-effective strategies to reduce the seasonal spread of disease. This research project explores how parameter variation impacts control advice for resource management officials. Although nestling vaccination is an untried and expensive strategy, do our simulations suggest that the effort is warranted? Are model parameters selected as important in a Latin Hypercube Sampling / Partial Rank Correlation Coefficient (PRCC) sensitivity analysis, a method experts are using in the field, the only parameters that are important to the question of control? We work with a complex age-structured avian/mosquito model and consider much parameter variation to provide a thorough analysis for the questions above.
