This paper aims to present two nonstandard finite difference (NFSD) methods to solve an SIR epidemic model. The proposed methods have important properties such as positivity and boundedness and they also preserve conservation law. Numerical comparisons confirm that the accuracy of our method is better than that of other existing standard methods such as the second-order Runge–Kutta (RK2) method, the Euler method and some ready-made MATLAB codes.

A SIR epidemic model that describes the dynamics of childhood disease with a saturated incidence rate and vaccination program at a constant rate was investigated. For the continuous model we first show its basic properties, namely, the non-negativity and boundedness of solutions. Then we investigate the existence and both local and global stability of the equilibrium points. It was found that the existence and stability properties of equilibrium points fully determined the basic reproduction number. We also propose and analyze a discrete-time analogue of the continuous childhood diseases by applying a nonstandard finite difference method. It is shown that our discrete model preserves the dynamical properties of the corresponding continuous model, such as the positivity solutions, the population conservation law, the existence of equilibrium points and their global stability properties.

<em>Stability and equilibrium of malaria&rsquo;s epidemics in Manokwari Barat district based on SIR epidemic model will be discussed in this paper. The SIR epidemic model can be applied to make a model of endemic diseases like malaria. Based on this research, there are 2 types of the equilibrium of malaria&rsquo;s epidemics in Manokwari Barat District, endemic and non endemic point.</em>

AbstractIn this paper, we study a novel deterministic and stochastic SIR epidemic model with vertical transmission and media coverage. For the deterministic model, we give the basic reproduction number $R_{0}$ R 0 which determines the extinction or prevalence of the disease. In addition, for the stochastic model, we prove existence and uniqueness of the positive solution, and extinction and persistence in mean. Furthermore, we give numerical simulations to verify our results.

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.
