This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a viral infection model with general contact rate between susceptible host cells and free virus particles. If the basic reproduction number of the virus is less than unity, by LaSalle’s invariance principle, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. If the basic reproduction number of the virus is greater than unity, then the virus persists in the host and the endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable.

The basic viral infection models, proposed by Nowak et al. and Perelson et al., respectively, have been widely used to describe viral infection such as HBV and HIV infection. However, the basic reproduction numbers of the two models are proportional to the number of total cells of the host's organ prior to the infection, which seems not to be reasonable. In this paper, we formulate an amended model with a general standard incidence rate. The basic reproduction number of the amended model is independent of total cells of the host’s organ. When the basic reproduction numberR0<1, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the virus is cleared. Moreover, ifR0>1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the virus persists in the host.

The stability of a mathematical model for viral infection with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response is considered in this paper. If the basic reproduction number R ≤1, by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and Lyapunov function, the uninfected equilibrium E is globally asymptotically stable. Then, the global stability of the infected equilibrium E is obtained by the method of Lyapunov function

The basic models of within-host viral infection, proposed by Nowak and May2 and Perelson and Nelson,5 have been widely used in the studies of HBV and HIV infections. The basic reproduction numbers of the two models are proportional to the number of total cells of the host's organ prior to the infection. In this paper, we formulate an amended Perelson and Nelson's model with standard incidence. The basic reproduction number of the amended model is independent of total cells of the host's organ. If the basic reproduction number R0 < 1, then the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the virus is cleared; if R0 > 1, then the virus persists in the host, and solutions approach either an endemic equilibrium or a periodic orbit. Numerical simulations of this model agree well with the clinical HBV infection data. This can provide a possible interpretation for the viral oscillation behaviors, which were observed in chronic HBV infection patients.

In this work, we construct an age-structured HIV-1 infection model to investigate the interplay between [Formula: see text] cells and viruses. In our model, we assume that the variations in the death rate of productively infected [Formula: see text] cells and the production rate of virus in infected cells are all age-dependent, and the target cells follow logistic growth. We perform mathematical analysis and prove the persistence of the semi-flow of the system. We calculate the basic reproduction number and prove the local and global stability of the steady states. We show that if the basic reproduction number is less than one, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and if the basic reproduction number is greater than one, the infected steady state is locally asymptotically stable.

In this paper, we investigate global dynamics for a distributed time delayed HCV infection model. Our model admits two possible equilibria, an uninfected equilibrium and infected equilibrium depending on the basic reproduction number. By employing the method of Lyapunov functional, we prove that the uninfected equilibrium is global asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is less than one, it is unstable and the infected equilibrium is global asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is larger than one. The simulations results are in good accordance with our analytic results.

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.

In this article, a time-dependent susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model is constructed to investigate the transmission rate of COVID-19 in various regions of India. The model included the fundamental parameters on which the transmission rate of the infection is dependent, like the population density, contact rate, recovery rate, and intensity of the infection in the respective region. Looking at the great diversity in different geographic locations in India, we determined to calculate the basic reproduction number for all Indian districts based on the COVID-19 data till 7 July 2020. By preparing district-wise spatial distribution maps with the help of ArcGIS 10.2, the model was employed to show the effect of complete lockdown on the transmission rate of the COVID-19 infection in Indian districts. Moreover, with the model's transformation to the fractional ordered dynamical system, we found that the nature of the proposed SIR model is different for the different order of the systems. The sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number is done graphically which forecasts the change in the transmission rate of COVID-19 infection with change in different parameters. In the numerical simulation section, oscillations and variations in the model compartments are shown for two different situations, with and without lockdown.

In this paper, an Immunity-Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovery (MSEIR) mathematical model was used to study the dynamics of measles transmission. We discussed that there exist a disease-free and an endemic equilibria. We also discussed the stability of both disease-free and endemic equilibria.  The basic reproduction number  is obtained. If , then the measles will spread and persist in the population. If , then the disease will die out.  The disease was locally asymptotically stable if  and unstable if  . ALSO, WE PROVED THE GLOBAL STABILITY FOR THE DISEASE-FREE EQUILIBRIUM USING LASSALLE'S INVARIANCE PRINCIPLE OF Lyaponuv function. Furthermore, the endemic equilibrium was locally asymptotically stable if , under certain conditions. Numerical simulations were conducted to confirm our analytic results. Our findings were that, increasing the birth rate of humans, decreasing the progression rate, increasing the recovery rate and reducing the infectious rate can be useful in controlling and combating the measles.

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, we study the dynamics of a viral infection model formulated by five fractional differential equations (FDEs) to describe the interactions between host cells, virus, and humoral immunity presented by antibodies. The infection transmission process is modeled by Hattaf-Yousfi functional response which covers several forms of incidence rate existing in the literature. We first show that the model is mathematically and biologically well-posed. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, the global stability of equilibria is established and characterized by two threshold parameters. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical analysis.
