Abstract
In this paper, we study the qualitative behavior of a discrete-time host-pathogen model for spread of an infectious disease with permanent immunity. The time-step is equal to the duration of the infectious phase. Moreover, the local asymptotic stability, the global behavior of unique positive equilibrium point, and the rate of convergence of positive solutions is discussed. Some numerical examples are given to verify our theoretical results. MSC: 39A10; 40A05

A discrete viral infection model with both modes of transmission and distributed delays
International Journal of Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations, 2021
The aim of this work is to propose and analyse a discrete virus dynamics model with distributed delays and both modes of transmission, one by virus-to-cell infection and the other by cell-to-cell transfer. In the proposed model, the first distributed delays describes the time needed for infected cells to produce new virions, and the second portrays the time necessary for the newly produced virions to become mature and infectious. In addition, the infection transmission process is modelled by general incidence functions for both modes. Furthermore, we prove that the proposed discrete model has the same dynamics as the corresponding continuous model, such as positivity, boundedness and global behaviours of solutions with no restriction on the time step size. Moreover, numerical simulations are given to illustrate and confirm our main analytical results.
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2019
This paper studies the global dynamics of a general pathogenic infection model with two ways of infections. The effect of antibody immune response is analyzed. We incorporate three discrete time delays and both latently infected cells and actively infected cells. The infection rate and production and clearance/death rates of the cells and pathogens are given by general functions. We determine two threshold parameters to investigate the global stability of three equilibria. We use Lyapunov method to establish the global stability. We support our theoretical results by numerical simulations.

Bifurcation and Stability Analysis of a Discrete Time Sir Epidemic Model with Vaccination
International Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2019
In this paper, we study the qualitative behavior of a discrete-time epidemic model with vaccination. Analysis of the model shows forth that the Disease Free Equilibrium (DFE) point is asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number R 0 is less than one, while the Endemic Equilibrium (EE) point is asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number R 0 is greater than one. The results are reinforced with numerical simulations and enhanced with graphical representations like time trajectories, phase portraits and bifurcation diagrams for different sets of parameter values.
Dynamics of a host-pathogen system on a bounded spatial domain
Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis, 2015
We study a host-pathogen system in a bounded spatial habitat where the environment is closed. Extinction and persistence of the disease are investigated by appealing to theories of monotone dynamical systems and uniform persistence. We also carry out a bifurcation analysis for steady state solutions, and the results suggest that a backward bifurcation may occur when the parameters in the system are spatially dependent.
Global Dynamics of a General Class of Multistage Models for Infectious Diseases
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2012
We propose a general class of multistage epidemiological models that allow possible deterioration and amelioration between any two infected stages. The models can describe disease progression through multiple latent or infectious stages as in the case of HIV and tuberculosis. Amelioration is incorporated into the models to account for the effects of antiretroviral or antibiotic treatment. The models also incorporate general nonlinear incidences and general nonlinear forms of population transfer among stages. Under biologically motivated assumptions, we derive the basic reproduction number R 0 and show that the global dynamics are completely determined by R 0 : if R 0 ≤ 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the disease dies out; if R 0 > 1, then the disease persists in all stages and a unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.
An Approach for the Global Stability of Mathematical Model of an Infectious Disease
Symmetry
The global stability analysis for the mathematical model of an infectious disease is discussed here. The endemic equilibrium is shown to be globally stable by using a modification of the Volterra–Lyapunov matrix method. The basis of the method is the combination of Lyapunov functions and the Volterra–Lyapunov matrices. By reducing the dimensions of the matrices and under some conditions, we can easily show the global stability of the endemic equilibrium. To prove the stability based on Volterra–Lyapunov matrices, we use matrices with the symmetry properties (symmetric positive definite). The results developed in this paper can be applied in more complex systems with nonlinear incidence rates. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analytical results.
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2022
The aim of this paper is to study the dynamics of a reaction-diffusion SIS (susceptible-infectious-susceptible) epidemic model with a nonlinear incidence rate describing the transmission of a communicable disease between individuals. We prove that the proposed model has two steady states under one condition. By analyzing the eigenvalues and using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and an appropriately constructed Lyapunov functional, we establish the local and global asymptotic stability of the non negative constant steady states subject to the basic reproduction number being greater than unity and of the disease-free equilibrium subject to the basic reproduction number being smaller than or equal to unity in ODE case. By applying an appropriately constructed Lyapunov functional, we identify the condition of the global stability in the PDE case. Finally, we present some numerical examples illustrating and confirming the analytical results obtained throughout the paper.
Global dynamics of a staged progression model for infectious diseases
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2006
We analyze a mathematical model for infectious diseases that progress through distinct stages within infected hosts. An example of such a disease is AIDS, which results from HIV infection. For a general n-stage stage-progression (SP) model with bilinear incidences, we prove that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction number R 0 . If R 0 ≤ 1, then the disease-free equilibrium P 0 is globally asymptotically stable and the disease always dies out. If R 0 > 1, P 0 is unstable, and a unique endemic equilibrium P * is globally asymptotically stable, and the disease persists at the endemic equilibrium. The basic reproduction numbers for the SP model with density dependent incidence forms are also discussed.
Local and Global Stability of Host-Vector Disease Models
""In this work we deal with global stability properties of two host-vector disease models using the Poincaré-Bendixson Theorem and Second Method of Lyapunov. We construct a Lyapunov function for each Vector-Host model. We proved that the local and global stability are completely determined by the threshold parameter, R_0. If R_0⩽1, the disease-free equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable. If R_0 > 1, a unique endemic equilibrium point exists and is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the feasible region. Key Words: Lyapunov Function, Dulac Function, Global Stability, LaSalle’s invariant principle""

Dynamics of an Intra-host Diffusive Pathogen Infection Model
2020
In this paper, we first propose a diffusive pathogen infection model with general incidence rate which incorporates cell-to-cell transmission. By applying the theory of monotone dynamical systems, we prove that the model admits the global threshold dynamics in terms of the basic reproduction number (R0), which is defined by the spectral radius of the next generation operator. Then, we derive a discrete counterpart of the continuous model by nonstandard finite difference scheme. The results show that the discrete model preserves the positivity and boundedness of solutions in order to ensure the well-posedness of the problem. Moreover, this method preserves all equilibria of the original continuous model. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals for both models, we show that the global threshold dynamics is completely determined by the basic reproduction number. Further, with the help of sensitivity analysis we also have identified the most sensitive parameters which effectively contribute to change the disease dynamics. Finally, we conclude the paper by an example and numerical simulations to improve and generalize some known results.
Stability and Bifurcations in an Epidemic Model with Varying Immunity Period
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2009
An epidemic model with distributed time delay is derived to describe the dynamics of infectious diseases with varying immunity. It is shown that solutions are always positive, and the model has at most two steady states: disease-free and endemic. It is proved that the diseasefree equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable. When an endemic equilibrium exists, it is possible to analytically prove its local and global stability using Lyapunov functionals. Bifurcation analysis is performed using DDE-BIFTOOL and traceDDE to investigate different dynamical regimes in the model using numerical continuation for different values of system parameters and different integral kernels.
THE DYNAMICS OF AN ECOLOGICAL MODEL WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASE
In this article, the dynamical behavior of a three dimensional continuous time eco-epidemiological model is studied. A prey-predator model involving infectious disease in predator population is proposed and analyzed. This model deals with SI infectious disease that transmitted horizontally in predator population. It is assumed that the disease transmitted to susceptible population in two different ways: contact with infected individuals and an external sources. The existence, uniqueness and bounded-ness of the solution of this model are investigated. The local and global stability conditions of all possible equilibrium points are established. The local bifurcation analysis and a Hopf bifurcation around the positive equilibrium point are obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate our obtained analytical results.
Threshold dynamics of an infective disease model with a fixed latent period and non-local infections
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2011
In this paper, we derive and analyze an infectious disease model containing a fixed latency and non-local infection caused by the mobility of the latent individuals in a continuous bounded domain. The model is given by a spatially nonlocal reaction-diffusion system carrying a discrete delay associated with the zero-flux condition on the boundary. By applying some existing abstract results in dynamical systems theory, we prove the existence of a global attractor for the model system. By appealing to the theory of monotone dynamical systems and uniform persistence, we show that the model has the global threshold dynamics which can be described either by the principal eigenvalue of a linear non-local scalar reaction diffusion equation or equivalently by the basic reproduction number R 0 for the model. Such threshold dynamics predicts whether the disease will die out or persist. We identify the next generation operator, the spectral radius of which defines basic reproduction number. When all model parameters are constants, we are able to find explicitly the principal eigenvalue and R 0. In addition to computing the spectral radius of the next generation operator, we also discuss an alternative way to compute R 0 .

The aim of this work is to study the dynamics of a class of viral infection models with diffusion and loss of viral particles due to the absorption into uninfected cells. We prove the global stability of equilibria by constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals for two cases: continuous and discrete. Also, some examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
The stability analysis of an epidemic model with age-structure in the exposed and infectious classes
2017
In this paper, we propose an epidemic model with age-structure in the exposed and infectious classes for a disease like hepatitis-B. Asymptotic smoothness of semi-flow generated by the model is studied. By calculating the basic reproduction number and analyzing the characteristic equation, we study the local stability of disease-free and endemic steady states. By using Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle’s invariance principle, it is proved that if the basic reproduction number is less than unity, the disease-free steady state is globally asymptotically stable; if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, the endemic steady state is globally asymptotically stable. https://doi.org/10.28919/cmbn/3337
Journal of Biological Systems, 2014
This paper investigates the global stability of virus dynamics model with Beddington-DeAngelis infection rate. By constructing Lyapunov functions, the global properties have been analysed. If the basic reproductive ratio of the virus is less than or equal to one, the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable. If the basic reproductive ratio of the virus is more than one, the infected steady state is globally asymptotically stable. The conditions imply that the steady states are always globally asymptotically stable for Holling type II functional response or for a saturation response.
Disease Extinction Versus Persistence in Discrete-Time Epidemic Models
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology
We focus on discrete-time infectious disease models in populations that are governed by constant, geometric, Beverton-Holt or Ricker demographic equations, and give a method for computing the basic reproduction number, R 0. When R 0 < 1 and the demographic population dynamics are asymptotically constant or under geometric growth (non-oscillatory), we prove global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium of the disease models. Under the same demographic assumption, when R 0 > 1, we prove uniform persistence of the disease. We apply our theoretical results to specific discrete-time epidemic models that are formulated for SEIR infections, cholera in humans and anthrax in animals. Our simulations show that a unique endemic equilibrium of each of the three specific disease models is asymptotically stable whenever R 0 > 1.
Solution of an infection model near threshold
Physical Review E, 2007
We study the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model of epidemics in the vicinity of the threshold infectivity. We derive the distribution of total outbreak size in the limit of large population size N . This is accomplished by mapping the problem to the first passage time of a random walker subject to a drift that increases linearly with time. We recover the scaling results of Ben-Naim and Krapivsky that the effective maximal size of the outbreak scales as N 2/3 , with the average scaling as N 1/3 , with an explicit form for the scaling function.
