Threshold dynamics of a time periodic reaction–diffusion epidemic model with latent period
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we first propose a time-periodic reaction–diffusion epidemic model which incorporates simple demographic structure and the latent period of infectious disease. Then we introduce the basic reproduction number R0 for this model and prove that the sign of R0 − 1 determines the local stability of the disease-free periodic solution. By using the comparison arguments and persistence theory, we further show that the disease-free periodic solution is globally attractive if R0 < 1, while there is an endemic periodic solution and the disease is uniformly persistent if R0 > 1. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Dynamics of a Delayed Epidemic Model with Beddington-DeAngelis Incidence Rate and a Constant Infectious Period
In this paper, an SIR epidemic model with an infectious period and a non-linear Beddington-DeAngelis type incidence rate function is considered. The dynamics of this model depend on the reproduction number R0. Accurately, if R0 < 1, we show the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation and using compa...

متن کاملAn SEIR Epidemic Model with Profitless Latent Period Time Delay and Pulse Vaccination
In this paper, we formulate a robust SEIR epidemic disease model with a profitless delay and nonlinear incidence, and analyze the dynamics behaviors of the model under pulse vaccination. By use of the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain an ’infection-free’ periodic solution, further, show that the ’infection-free’ periodic solution is globally attractive when...
متن کاملSeasonally varying epidemics with and without latent period: a comparative simulation study.
This paper studies two classes of epidemic models. These models are the standard SIR and SEIR models with time-varying periodic contact rate. The importance of the latent period is our target. When the latent period can be ignored and when it must be taken into account are the main points of our simulation. The comparison of the simulation results of our two models shows that the latent period ...
