In this paper, a reaction–diffusion SEI epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate is proposed. The well-posedness of solutions is studied, including the existence of positive and unique classical solution and the existence and the ultimate boundedness of global solutions. The basic reproduction numbers are given in both heterogeneous and homogeneous environments. For spatially heterogeneous environment, by the comparison principle of the diffusion system, the infection-free steady state is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text], the system will be persistent and admit at least one positive steady state. For spatially homogenous environment, by constructing a Lyapunov function, the infection-free steady state is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] and then the unique positive steady state is achieved and is proved to be globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text]. Finally, two examples are given via numerical simulations, and then some control strategies are also presented by the sensitive analysis.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a fractional-order epidemic model with general nonlinear incidence rate functionals and time-delay. We investigate the local and global stability of the steady-states. We deduce the basic reproductive threshold parameter, so that if R0<1, the disease-free steady-state is locally and globally asymptotically stable. However, for R0>1, there exists a positive (endemic) steady-state which is locally and globally asymptotically stable. A Holling type III response function is considered in the numerical simulations to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

We study a class of discrete SIRS epidemic models with nonlinear incidence rateF(S)G(I)and disease-induced mortality. By using analytic techniques and constructing discrete Lyapunov functions, the global stability of disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium is obtained. That is, if basic reproduction numberℛ0<1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and ifℛ0>1, then the model has a unique endemic equilibrium and when some additional conditions hold the endemic equilibrium also is globally asymptotically stable. By using the theory of persistence in dynamical systems, we further obtain that only whenℛ0>1, the disease in the model is permanent. Some special cases ofF(S)G(I)are discussed. Particularly, whenF(S)G(I)=βSI/(1+λI), it is obtained that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if and only ifℛ0>1. Furthermore, the numerical simulations show that for general incidence rateF(S)G(I)the endemic equilibrium may be globally asymptotically stable only asℛ0>1.

In this paper, a class of SEIQV epidemic model with general nonlinear incidence rate is investigated. By constructing Lyapunov function, it is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number ℛ0≤ 1. If ℛ0> 1, we show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable by applying Li and Muldowney geometric approach.

In this paper, we discuss the SIVS epidemic models with vertical transmission and nonlinear incidence rate. We study the stability properties of pulse vaccination strategy in the models and obtain the sufficient condition for which the epidemic elimination solution is globally asymptotically stable.

We study a delayed SIR epidemic model and get the threshold value which determines the global dynamics and outcome of the disease. First of all, for anyτ, we show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; whenR0<1, the disease will die out. Directly afterwards, we prove that the endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable for anyτ=0; whenR0>1, the disease will persist. However, for anyτ≠0, the existence conditions for Hopf bifurcations at the endemic equilibrium are obtained. Besides, we compare the delayed SIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate to the one with bilinear incidence rate. At last, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate and verify the conclusions.
