An SIS epidemic model with the standard incidence rate and saturated treatment function is proposed. The dynamics of the system are discussed, and the effect of the capacity for treatment and the recruitment of the population are also studied. We find that the effect of the maximum recovery per unit of time and the recruitment rate of the population over some level are two factors which lead to the backward bifurcation, and in some cases, the model may undergo the saddle-node bifurcation or Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation. It is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under some conditions. Numerical simulations are consistent with our obtained results in theorems, which show that improving the efficiency and capacity of treatment is important for control of disease.

In this paper, we formulate a model for evaluating the effects of an opportunistic disease affecting only those individuals already infected by a primary disease. The opportunistic disease act on a faster time scale and it is represented by an SIS epidemic model with frequency-dependent transmission. The primary disease is governed by an SIS epidemic model with density-dependent transmission, and we consider two different recovery cases. The first one assumes a constant recovery rate whereas the second one takes into account limited treatment resources by means of a saturating treatment rate. No demographics is included in these models.Our results indicate that misunderstanding the role of the opportunistic disease may lead to wrong estimates of the overall potential amount of infected individuals. In the case of constant recovery rate, an expression measuring this discrepancy is derived, as well as conditions on the opportunistic disease imposing a coinfection endemic state on a primary disease otherwise tending to disappear. The case of saturating treatment rate adds the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, which fosters the presence of endemic coinfection and greater levels of infected individuals. Nevertheless, there are specific situations where increasing the opportunistic disease basic reproduction number helps to eradicate both diseases.

In this paper, we describe an SIS epidemic model where both the disease transmission rate and treatment function are considered in saturated forms. The dynamical behavior of the system is analyzed. The system is customized by considering the disease transmission rate and treatment control as fuzzy numbers and then fuzzy expected value of the infected individuals is determined. The fuzzy basic reproduction number is investigated and a threshold condition of pathogen is derived at which the system undergoes a backward bifurcation.
