An SIR pairwise epidemic model with infection age and demography

Existence of a Nonautonomous SIR Epidemic Model with Age Structure

An age-structured two-strain epidemic model with super-infection.

This article focuses on the study of an age-structured two-strain model with super-infection. The explicit expression of basic reproduction numbers and the invasion reproduction numbers corresponding to strain one and strain two are obtained. It is shown that the infection-free steady state is globally stable if the basic reproductive number R(0) is below one. Existence of strain one and strain...

Rich dynamics of an SIR epidemic model

Over the past one hundred years, mathematics has been used to understand and predict the spread of diseases, relating important public-health questions to basic transmission parameters. From prehistory to the present day, diseases have been a source of fear and superstition. A comprehensive picture of disease dynamics requires a variety of mathematical tools, from model creation to solving diff...

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...
