  Dengue is a vector-borne disease and 40% of world population is at risk.
Dengue transcends international borders and can be found in tropical and
subtropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and semi-urban
areas. A model for dengue disease transmission, composed by mutually-exclusive
compartments representing the human and vector dynamics, is presented in this
study. The data is from Madeira, a Portuguese island, where an unprecedented
outbreak was detected on October 2012. The aim of this work is to simulate the
repercussions of the control measures in the fight of the disease.
