In this paper, we revisit the model by Guedj et al. [J. Guedj, R. Thibaut and D. Commenges, Maximum likelihood estimation in dynamical models of HIV, Biometrics 63 (2007) 198–206; J. Guedj, R. Thibaut and D. Commenges, Practical identifiability of HIV dynamics models, Bull. Math. Biol. 69 (2007) 2493–2513] which describes the effect of treatment with reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors and incorporates the class of quiescent cells. We prove that there is a threshold value [Formula: see text] of drug efficiency [Formula: see text] such that if [Formula: see text], the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] and the infection is cleared and if [Formula: see text], the infectious equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. When the drug efficiency function [Formula: see text] is periodic and of the bang–bang type we establish a threshold, in terms of spectral radius of some matrix, between the clearance and the persistence of the disease. As stated in related works [L. Rong, Z. Feng and A. Perelson, Emergence of HIV-1 drug resistance during antiretroviral treatment, Bull. Math. Biol. 69 (2007) 2027–2060; P. De Leenheer, Within-host virus models with periodic antiviral therapy, Bull. Math. Biol. 71 (2009) 189–210.], we prove that the increase of the drug efficiency or the active duration of drug must clear the infection more quickly. We illustrate our results by some numerical simulations.

Abstract In this paper, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model that includes a protease inhibitor (PI), two intracellular delays, and a general incidence function is derived from biologically natural assumptions. The global dynamical behavior of the model in terms of the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 is investigated by the methods of Lyapunov functional and limiting system. The infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $\mathcal{R}_{0}\leq 1$ R 0 ≤ 1 . If $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ R 0 > 1 , then the positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the main results and to analyze thre effects of time delays and the efficacy of the PI on $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 .

This paper is devoted to the study of the stability of a CD[Formula: see text] T cell viral infection model with diffusion. First, we discuss the well-posedness of the model and the existence of endemic equilibrium. Second, by analyzing the roots of the characteristic equation, we establish the local stability of the virus-free equilibrium. Furthermore, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we show that the virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the threshold value [Formula: see text]; the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Finally, we give an application and numerical simulations to illustrate the main results.

In this paper, a diffusive hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection model with a discrete time delay is presented and analyzed, where the spatial mobility of both intracellular capsid covered HBV DNA and HBV and the intracellular delay in the reproduction of infected hepatocytes are taken into account. We define the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] that determines the dynamical behavior of the model. The local and global stability of the spatially homogeneous steady states are analyzed by using the linearization technique and the direct Lyapunov method, respectively. It is shown that the susceptible uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable whenever [Formula: see text] and is unstable whenever [Formula: see text]. Also, the infected steady state is globally asymptotically stable when [Formula: see text]. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the results obtained.

We investigate the global dynamics of an HIV infection model with two classes of target cells and multiple distributed intracellular delays. The model is a 5-dimensional nonlinear delay ODEs that describes the interaction of the HIV with two classes of target cells, CD4+T cells and macrophages. The incidence rate of infection is given by saturation functional response. The model has two types of distributed time delays describing time needed for infection of target cell and virus replication. This model can be seen as a generalization of several models given in the literature describing the interaction of the HIV with one class of target cells, CD4+T cells. Lyapunov functionals are constructed to establish the global asymptotic stability of the uninfected and infected steady states of the model. We have proven that if the basic reproduction numberR0is less than unity then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable, and ifR0>1then the infected steady state exists and it is globally asymptotically stable.

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.

By means of asymptotically stable theory and infection model theory of ordinary differential equation, we do research on SIQS model with nonlinear and isolation. Firstly, we obtain the existence of threshold value R0 of disease-free equilibration point and local disease equilibration point. Secondly, we prove disease-free equilibration point is locally asymptotically stable when R0 < 1, and local disease equilibration point is locally asymptotically stable when R0 > 1. Furthermore, we have disease-free equilibration point and local disease equilibration point are globally asymptotically stable with the help of Liapunov function. Lastly, we explain at the point of biology.

Chikungunya fever, caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and transmitted to humans by infected Aedes mosquitoes, has posed a global threat in several countries. In this paper, we investigated a modified within-host Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection model with antibodies where two routes of infection are considered. In a first step, the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] was calculated and the local and global stability analysis of the steady states is carried out using the local linearization and the Lyapunov method. It is proven that the CHIKV-free steady-state [Formula: see text] is globally asymptotically stable when [Formula: see text], and the infected steady-state [Formula: see text] is globally asymptotically stable when [Formula: see text]. In a second step, we applied an optimal strategy in order to optimize the infected compartment and to maximize the uninfected one. For this, we formulated a nonlinear optimal control problem. Existence of the optimal solution was discussed and characterized using some adjoint variables. Thus, an algorithm based on competitive Gauss–Seidel-like implicit difference method was applied in order to resolve the optimality system. The theoretical results are confirmed by some numerical simulations.

A viral infection model with self-proliferation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is proposed and its global dynamics is obtained. When the per capita self-proliferation rate of CTLs is sufficient large, an infection-free but immunity-activated equilibrium always exists and is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number of virus is less than a threshold value, which means that the immune effect still exists though virus be eliminated. Qualitative numerical simulations further indicate that the increase of per capita self-proliferation rate may lead to more severe infection outcome, which may provide insight into the failure of immune therapy.

In this paper, an HIV infection model including an eclipse stage of infected cells is considered. Some quicker cells in this stage become productively infected cells, a portion of these cells are reverted to the uninfected class, and others will be latent down in the body. We consider CTL-response delay in this model and analyze the effect of time delay on stability of equilibrium. It is shown that the uninfected equilibrium and CTL-absent infection equilibrium are globally asymptotically stable for both ODE and DDE model. And we get the global stability of the CTL-present equilibrium for ODE model. For DDE model, we have proved that the CTL-present equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable in a range of delays and also have studied the existence of Hopf bifurcations at the CTL-present equilibrium. Numerical simulations are carried out to support our main results.
