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.

In this paper, the sharp threshold properties of a (2n + 1)-dimensional delayed viral infection model are investigated. This model combines with n classes of uninfected target cells, n classes of infected cells and nonlinear incidence rate h(x, v). Two kinds of distributed time delays are incorporated into the model to describe the time needed for infection of uninfected target cells and virus replication. Under certain conditions, it is shown that the basic reproduction number is a threshold parameter for the existence of the equilibria, uniform persistence, as well as for global stability of the equilibria of the model.

AbstractIn this paper, we discussed a infinitely distributed delayed viral infection model with nonlinear immune response and general incidence rate. We proved the existence and uniqueness of the equilibria. By using the Lyapunov functional and LaSalle invariance principle, we obtained the conditions of global stabilities of the infection-free equilibrium, the immune-exhausted equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. Numerical simulations are given to verify the analytical results.
