The global dynamics of an SVEIR epidemic model with age-dependent waning immunity, latency and relapse are studied. Sharp threshold properties for global asymptotic stability of both disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium are given. The asymptotic smoothness, uniform persistence and the existence of interior global attractor of the semi-flow generated by a family of solutions of the system are also addressed. Furthermore, some related strategies for controlling the spread of diseases are discussed.

We establish an SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic model, in which the travel between patches and the periodic transmission rate are considered. As an example, the global behavior of the model with two patches is investigated. We present the expression of basic reproduction ratioR0and two theorems on the global behavior: ifR0< 1 the disease-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable and ifR0> 1, then it is unstable; ifR0> 1, the disease is uniform persistence. Finally, two numerical examples are given to clarify the theoretical results.

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 present an SEIS epidemic model with infective force in both latent period and infected period, which has different general saturation incidence rates. It is shown that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproductive number R0. If R0≤1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in T by LaSalle’s Invariance Principle, and the disease dies out. Moreover, using the method of autonomous convergence theorem, we obtain that the unique epidemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in T0, and the disease spreads to be endemic.

The host migration is one of the important elements that cause the worldwide diffusion and outbreak of many vector-host diseases. In this paper, we formulate a patchy model to investigate the effect of host migration between two patches on the spread of a vector-host disease. The results of the paper show that the reproduction number R0 is a threshold value that determines the uniform persistence and extinction of the disease. If the reproduction number R0 < 1 the disease free equilibrium (DFE) is locally asymptotically stable. If the reproduction number R0 > 1 then the DFE is unstable and the system is uniformly persistent. It is also shown that a unique endemic equilibrium, which exists when R0 > 1, is locally stable if both regions are identical.

In this paper, we study the global dynamics of an SIRS epidemic model with nonlinear inci- dence rate. By means of Dulac function and Poincare-Bendixson Theorem, we proved the global asy- mptotical stable results of the disease-free equilibrium. It is then obtained the model undergoes Hopf bifurcation and existence of one limit cycle. Some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the an- alytical results.

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.

This paper studies the global dynamics of a cholera model incorporating age structures and general infection rates. First, we explore the existence and point dissipativeness of the orbit and analyze the asymptotical smoothness. Then, we perform rigorous mathematical analysis on the existence and local stability of equilibria. Based on the uniform persistence, we further investigate the global behavior of the cholera infection model. The results of theoretical analysis are well confirmed by numerical simulations. This research generalizes some known results and provides deeper insights into the dynamics of cholera propagation.

In this paper, we formulate an age-structured HIV model, in which the influence of humoral immunity and the infection age of the infected cells are considered. The model is governed by three ordinary differential equations and two first-ordered partial differential equations and admits three equilibria: disease-free, immune-inactivated and immune-activated equilibria. We introduce two important thresholds: the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] and immune-activated reproduction number [Formula: see text] and further show the global stability of above three equilibria in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. The numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our results.
