Dengue is one of the most prevalent viruses transmitted by mosquitoes where increasing incidence and severity claim severe social burden. This virus is common throughout the tropics and subtropics. Dengue is a virus which propagated during the day and thus the mobility of humans can cause it to spread quickly. In this paper, we introduce mobility of humans between two neighboring areas into a mathematical model for the transmission of dengue. Dengue transmission is modeled using the classical SIR model. Simulations have been carried under four cases to compare the impact of human mobility to propagate the dengue disease. These cases are based on existence of dengue and human mobility direction regarding neighboring area. Numerical simulations are carried out using Matlab routine ode 45.
