In this paper, a model for the transmission dynamics of cystic echinococcosis in the dog, sheep, and human populations is developed and analyzed. We first model and analyze the predator-prey interaction model in these populations; then, we propose a mathematical model of the transmission dynamics of cystic echinococcosis. We calculate the basic reproduction number R 0 and prove that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and hence, the disease dies out if R 0 > 1 . We further show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and hence, the disease persists if R 0 < 1 . Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate our analytic results. We give sensitivity analysis of the key parameters and give strategies that are helpful to control the transmission of cystic echinococcosis, from which the most sensitive parameter is the transmission rate of Echinococcus’ eggs from the environment to sheep ( β es ). Thus, the effective controlling strategies are associated with this parameter.

<abstract><p>This paper investigates a fractional-order mathematical model of predator-prey interaction in the ecology considering the fear of the prey, which is generated in addition by competition of two prey species, to the predator that is in cooperation with its species to hunt the preys. At first, we show that the system has non-negative solutions. The existence and uniqueness of the established fractional-order differential equation system were proven using the Lipschitz Criteria. In applying the theory of Routh-Hurwitz Criteria, we determine the stability of the equilibria based on specific conditions. The discretization of the fractional-order system provides us information to show that the system undergoes Neimark-Sacker Bifurcation. In the end, a series of numerical simulations are conducted to verify the theoretical part of the study and authenticate the effect of fear and fractional order on our model's behavior.</p></abstract>

Predator-prey interaction is a fundamental feature in the ecological system. The majority of studies have addressed how competition and predation affect species coexistence. Recent field studies on vertebrate has shown that fear of predators can influence the behavioural pattern of prey populations and reduce their reproduction. A natural question arises whether species coexistence is still possible or not when predator induce fear on competing species. Based on the above observation, we propose a mathematical model of two competing prey-one predator system with the cost of fear that affect not only the reproduction rate of both the prey population but also the predation rate of predator. To make the model more realistic, we incorporate intraspecific competition within the predator population. Biological justification of the model is shown through positivity and boundedness of solutions. Existence andstability of different boundary equilibria are discussed. Condition for the existence of coexistence equilibrium point is derived from showing uniform persistence. Local as well as a global stability criterion is developed. Bifurcation analysis is performed by choosing the fear effect as the bifurcation parameter of the model system. The nature of the limit cycle emerging through a Hopf bifurcation is indicated. Numerical experiments are carried out to test the theoretical results obtained from this model.
