In this paper, an SVIR epidemiological model with infection age (time elapsed since the infection) and nonlinear incidence is studied. In the model, in order to reflect the dependence of disease progress on the infection age, the infected individual is structured by the infection age, and transmission and removal rates are assumed to depend on the infection age. By analyzing corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of each of steady states of the model is established. It is proved that the semi-flow generated by this system is asymptotically smooth, and if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, the system is uniformly persistent. By using Lyapunov functional and LaSalle’s invariance principle, the global dynamics of the model is investigated. It is shown that if the basic reproduction number is less than unity, the disease-free steady state is globally asymptotically stable and hence the disease dies out; and if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, the endemic steady state is globally asymptotically stable and the disease persists. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main analytic results.

In this paper, the global properties of a mathematical modeling of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with distributed time delays is studied. Lyapunov functionals are constructed to establish the global asymptotic stability of the uninfected and infected steady states. It is shown that if the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] is less than unity, then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable. If the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] is larger than unity, then the infected steady state is globally asymptotically stable.

To investigate the effect of heterogeneity on the global dynamics of two SIR epidemic models with general nonlinear incidence rate and infection delays, we formulate a multi-group model corresponding to the heterogeneity in the host population and a multi-stage model corresponding to heterogeneous stages of infection. Under biologically motivated considerations, we establish that the global dynamics for each of the two models is determined completely by the corresponding basic reproduction number: if the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease dies out in all groups or stages; if the basic reproduction number is larger than one, then the disease will persist in all groups or stages, and there is a unique endemic equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable. Then we conclude that the heterogeneity does not change the global dynamics of the SIR model when the incidence rate is a general nonlinear function. Our results extend a class of previous results and can be applied to the other epidemiological models. The proofs of the main results use Lyapunov functional and graph-theoretic approach.

In this paper, an SIQR (Susceptible, Infected, Quarantined, Recovered) epidemic model with vaccination, elimination, and quarantine hybrid strategies is proposed, and the dynamics of this model are analyzed by both theoretical and numerical means. Firstly, the basic reproduction number R 0 , which determines whether the disease is extinct or not, is derived. Secondly, by LaSalles invariance principle, it is proved that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R 0 < 1 , and the disease dies out. By Routh-Hurwitz criterion theory, we also prove that the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the unique endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R 0 > 1 . Thirdly, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, we obtain that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease persists at this endemic equilibrium if it initially exists when R 0 > 1 . Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analysis results.

We study a vector-borne disease with age of vaccination. A nonlinear incidence rate including mass action and saturating incidence as special cases is considered. The global dynamics of the equilibria are investigated and we show that if the basic reproduction number is less than 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; that is, the disease dies out, while if the basic reproduction number is larger than 1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, which means that the disease persists in the population. Using the basic reproduction number, we derive a vaccination coverage rate that is required for disease control and elimination.

An epidemic model with a class of nonlinear incidence rates and distributed delay is analyzed. The nonlinear incidence is used to describe the saturated or the psychological effect of certain serious epidemics on the community when the number of infectives is getting larger. The distributed delay is derived to describe the dynamics of infectious diseases with varying immunity. Lyapunov functionals are used to show that the disease-free equilibrium state is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one. Moreover, it is shown that the disease is permanent if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions under which the endemic equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable are obtained.

In this paper, a susceptible-vaccinated-exposed-infectious-recovered epidemic model with waning immunity and continuous age structures in vaccinated, exposed and infectious classes has been formulated. By using the Fluctuation lemma and the approach of Lyapunov functionals, we establish a threshold dynamics completely determined by the basic reproduction number. When the basic reproduction number is less than one, the disease-free steady state is globally asymptotically stable, and otherwise the endemic steady state is globally asymptotically stable.

We use a model to study the dynamics of malaria in the human and mosquito population to explain the stability patterns of malaria. The model results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and occurs whenever the basic reproduction number,R0is less than unity. We also note that whenR0>1, the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the endemic equilibrium is stable. Numerical simulations show that recoveries and temporary immunity keep the populations at oscillation patterns and eventually converge to a steady state.

An epidemic model with incomplete treatment and vaccination for the newborns and susceptibles is constructed. We establish that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction numberR0. IfR0≤1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. IfR0>1, the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Some numerical simulations are also given to explain our conclusions.

We derive a discretized heroin epidemic model with delay by applying a nonstandard finite difference scheme. We obtain positivity of the solution and existence of the unique endemic equilibrium. We show that heroin-using free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction numberR0<1, and the heroin-using is permanent when the basic reproduction numberR0>1.

In this paper, we investigate global dynamics for an in-host HIV-1 infection model with the long-lived infected cells and four intracellular delays. Our model admits two possible equilibria, an uninfected equilibrium and infected equilibrium depending on the basic reproduction number. We derive that the global dynamics are completely determined by the values of the basic reproduction number: if the basic reproduction number is less than one, the uninfected equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the virus is cleared; if the basic reproduction number is larger than one, then the infection persists, and the infected equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.
