  • Abstract : In this work, we propose a mathematical pathogen-host model which focused on the epidemiological cycle of banana black leaf streak disease and which takes into account control strategies to reduce the spores production ,this mainly thanks to an differential equations system with time delay in wich, the host dynamics is coupled to that of the fungus responsible for the disease. By using optimal control theory, we show that an optimal control exists for this problem and Pontryagin's maximum principle is used to characterize an optimal control. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate our results.
