A multi-group SIR epidemic model with age structure

Existence of a Nonautonomous SIR Epidemic Model with Age Structure

Threshold behaviour of a SIR epidemic model with age structure and immigration.

We consider a SIR age-structured model with immigration of infectives in all epidemiological compartments; the population is assumed to be in demographic equilibrium between below-replacement fertility and immigration; the spread of the infection occurs through a general age-dependent kernel. We analyse the equations for steady states; because of immigration of infectives a steady state with a ...

Threshold Behaviour of Sir Epidemic Model with Age Structure and Immigration

We consider a SIR age-structured model with immigration of infectives in all epidemiological compartments; the population is supposed in demographic equilibrium between below-replacement fertility and immigration; the spread of the infection occurs through a general age-dependent kernel. We analyse the equations for steady states; because of immigration of infectives a steady state with a posit...

Behavior of a Discrete SIR Epidemic Model

I. Introduction Infections and infectious diseases are a great burden on many societies, including the countries. An epidemic may be described as a sudden outbreak of a disease that infects a substantial portion of the population in a region before it disappears. In the nineteenth century, recurrent waves of cholera killed millions in India. The influenza epidemic of 1918-1919 killed at least 2...

A Delayed Sir Epidemic Model with General Incidence Rate

A delayed SIR epidemic model with a generalized incidence rate is studied. The time delay represents the incubation period. The threshold parameter, R0(τ) is obtained which determines whether the disease is extinct or not. Throughout the paper, we mainly use the technique of Lyapunov functional to establish the global stability of both the disease-free and endemic equilibrium.
