ABSTRACT.  In this paper, we present and analyze a cholera epidemiological model with control measures incorporated. This model is extended from the one proposed in [16] by including the effects of vaccination, therapeutic treatment, and water san- itation. Equilibrium analysis is conducted in the case with con- stant controls for both epidemic and endemic dynamics. Opti- mal control theory is applied to seek cost-effective solution of multiple time-dependent intervention strategies against cholera outbreaks.
