A general nonlinear mathematical model for the viral infection with humoral immunity and two distributed delays is proposed and analyzed. Two bifurcation parameters, the basic reproduction number, [Formula: see text] and the humoral immunity number, [Formula: see text] are derived. We established a set of conditions on the general functions which are sufficient to determine the global dynamics of the model. Utilizing Lyapunov functions and LaSalle’s invariance principle, the global asymptotic stability of all equilibria of the model is obtained. An example is presented and some numerical simulations are conducted in order to illustrate the dynamical behavior.

In this paper, we propose an age-structured viral infection model with general incidence function that takes account of the loss of viral particles due to their absorption into susceptible cells. The proposed model is described by partial differential and ordinary differential equations. We first show that the model is mathematically and biologically well-posed. Furthermore, the uniform persistence and the global behavior of the model are investigated. Moreover, the age-structured models and results presented in many previous studies are improved and generalized.

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.

In this paper, we propose an HBV viral infection model with continuous age structure and nonlinear incidence rate. Asymptotic smoothness of the semi-flow generated by the model is studied. Then we caculate the basic reproduction number and prove that it is a sharp threshold determining whether the infection dies out or not. We give a rigorous mathematical analysis on uniform persistence by reformulating the system as a system of Volterra integral equations. The global dynamics of the model is established by using suitable Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle's invariance principle. We further investigate the global behaviors of the HBV viral infection model with saturation incidence through numerical simulations.
