In this paper, we study the global properties of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model with cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) immune response. The model is a six-dimensional that describes the interaction of the HIV with two classes of target cells, CD4+ T cells and macrophages. The infection rate is given by saturation functional response. Two types of distributed time delays are incorporated into the model to describe the time needed for infection of target cell and virus replication. Using the method of Lyapunov functional, we have established that the global stability of the model is determined by two threshold numbers, the basic infection reproduction number R0 and the immune response activation number [Formula: see text]. We have proven that if R0 ≤ 1, then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable (GAS), if [Formula: see text], then the infected steady state without CTL immune response is GAS, and if [Formula: see text], then the infected steady state with CTL immune response is GAS.

A delayed HIV-1 infection model with CTL immune response is investigated. By using suitable Lyapunov functionals, it is proved that the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction ratio for viral infection is less than or equal to unity; if the basic reproduction ratio for CTL immune response is less than or equal to unity and the basic reproduction ratio for viral infection is greater than unity, the CTL-inactivated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; if the basic reproduction ratio for CTL immune response is greater than unity, the CTL-activated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.

In this paper, we consider an improved Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection model with the mitosis of CD4+ T cells and delayed cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) immune response by analyzing the distributions of roots of the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of the infection-free equilibrium, the immunity-inactivated equilibrium, and the immunity-activated equilibrium when the CTL immune delay is zero is established. And we discuss the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the immunity-activated equilibrium. We define the immune-inactivated reproduction ratio R0 and the immune-activated reproduction ratio R1. By using Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle’s invariance principle, it is shown that if R0 < 1, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; if R1 < 1 < R0, the immunity-inactivated equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; if R1 > 1, the immunity-activated equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the CTL immune delay is zero. Besides, uniform persistence is obtained when R1 > 1. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results.
