The research presented in this paper addresses the problem of fitting real data collected by the Florida HRSV surveillance system by using a periodic SEIRS mathematical model. A sensitivity and cost-effectiveness analysis of the model is done and an optimal control problem is formulated and solved with treatment as the control variable.engHuman Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV)Compartmental Mathematical ModelsEstimation of ParametersOptimal Controljournal article10.19139/soic.v6i1.472
