This article proposes a mathematical model which has been used to investigate the importance of lytic and non-lytic immune responses for the control of viral infections. By means of Lyapunov functions, the global properties of the model are obtained. The virus is cleared if the basic reproduction number R0 ≤ 1 and the virus persists in the host if R0 > 1. Furthermore, if R0 > 1 and other conditions hold, the immune-free equilibrium E0 is globally asymptotically stable. The equilibrium E1 exists and is globally asymptotically stale if the CTL immune response reproductive number R1 < 1 and the antibody immune response reproductive number R2 > 1. The equilibrium E2 exists and is globally asymptotically stable if R1 > 1 and R2 < 1. Finally, the endemic equilibrium E3 exists and is globally asymptotically stable if R1 > 1 and R2 > 1.

Based on a multi-scale view, in this paper, we study an age-structured within-host model with Crowley–Martin functional response for the control of viral infections. By means of semigroup and Lyapunov function, the global asymptotical property of infected steady state of the model is obtained. The results show that when the basic reproductive number falls below unity, the infection dies out. However, when the basic reproductive number exceeds unity, there exists a unique positive equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable. This model can be deduced to different viral models with or without time delay.

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.

This paper studies the dynamical behavior of an HIV-1 infection model with saturated virus-target and infected-target incidences with Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL) immune response. The model is incorporated by two types of intracellular distributed time delays. The model generalizes all the existing HIV-1 infection models with cell-to-cell transmission presented in the literature by considering saturated incidence rate and the effect of CTL immune response. The existence and global stability of all steady states of the model are determined by two parameters, the basic reproduction number ([Formula: see text]) and the CTL immune response activation number ([Formula: see text]). By using suitable Lyapunov functionals, we show that if [Formula: see text], then the infection-free steady state [Formula: see text] is globally asymptotically stable; if [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], then the CTL-inactivated infection steady state [Formula: see text] is globally asymptotically stable; if [Formula: see text], then the CTL-activated infection steady state [Formula: see text] is globally asymptotically stable. Using MATLAB we conduct some numerical simulations to confirm our results. The effect of the saturated incidence of the HIV-1 dynamics is shown.

Two virus infection models with antibody immune response and chronically infected cells are proposed and analyzed. Bilinear incidence rate is considered in the first model, while the incidence rate is given by a saturated functional response in the second one. One main feature of these models is that it includes both short-lived infected cells and chronically infected cells. The chronically infected cells produce much smaller amounts of virus than the short-lived infected cells and die at a much slower rate. Our mathematical analysis establishes that the global dynamics of the two models are determined by two threshold parametersR0andR1. By constructing Lyapunov functions and using LaSalle's invariance principle, we have established the global asymptotic stability of all steady states of the models. We have proven that, the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable (GAS) ifR0<1, the infected steady state without antibody immune response exists and it is GAS ifR1<1<R0, and the infected steady state with antibody immune response exists and it is GAS ifR1>1. We check our theorems with numerical simulation in the end.

We consider a mathematical model that describes a viral infection with lytic and non-lytic immune responses. One of the main features of the model is that it includes a rate of linear activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) immune response, a constant production rate of CTLs export from thymus, and a nonlinear attack rate for each immune effector mechanism. Stability of the infection-free equilibrium, and existence, uniqueness and stability of an immune-controlled equilibrium, are investigated. The stability results are given in terms of the basic reproductive number. We use the method of Lyapunov functions to study the global stability of the infection-free equilibrium and the immune-controlled equilibrium. We give a sufficient condition on the non-lytic-immune attack rate for the global asymptotic stability of the immune-controlled equilibrium. By theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show that the lytic and non-lytic activities are required to combat a viral infection.

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.

In this paper, the dynamical behaviors for a five-dimensional virus infection model with Latently Infected Cells and Beddington–DeAngelis incidence are investigated. In the model, four delays which denote the latently infected delay, the intracellular delay, virus production period and CTL response delay are considered. We define the basic reproductive number and the CTL immune reproductive number. By using Lyapunov functionals, LaSalle’s invariance principle and linearization method, the threshold conditions on the stability of each equilibrium are established. It is proved that when the basic reproductive number is less than or equal to unity, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when the CTL immune reproductive number is less than or equal to unity and the basic reproductive number is greater than unity, the immune-free infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when the CTL immune reproductive number is greater than unity and immune response delay is equal to zero, the immune infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. The results show that immune response delay may destabilize the steady state of infection and lead to Hopf bifurcation. The existence of the Hopf bifurcation is discussed by using immune response delay as a bifurcation parameter. Numerical simulations are carried out to justify the analytical results.

An HIV-1 infection model with latently infected cells and delayed immune response is investigated. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of each of feasible equilibria is established and the existence of Hopf bifurcations at the CTL-activated infection equilibrium is also studied. By means of suitable Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle’s invariance principle, it is proved that the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction ratio for viral infectionR0≤1; if the basic reproduction ratio for viral infectionR0>1and the basic reproduction ratio for CTL immune responseR1≤1, the CTL-inactivated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. If the basic reproduction ratio for CTL immune responseR1>1, the global stability of the CTL-activated infection equilibrium is also derived when the time delayτ=0. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.
