<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we use delay differential equations to propose a mathematical model for COVID-19 therapy with both defective interfering particles and artificial antibodies. For this model, the basic reproduction number <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is given and its threshold properties are discussed. When <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0&lt;1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, the disease-free equilibrium <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ E_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is globally asymptotically stable. When <inline-formula><tex-math id="M4">\begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0&gt;1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><tex-math id="M5">\begin{document}$ E_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> becomes unstable and the infectious equilibrium without defective interfering particles <inline-formula><tex-math id="M6">\begin{document}$ E_1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> comes into existence. There exists a positive constant <inline-formula><tex-math id="M7">\begin{document}$ R_1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> such that <inline-formula><tex-math id="M8">\begin{document}$ E_1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is globally asymptotically stable when <inline-formula><tex-math id="M9">\begin{document}$ R_1&lt;1&lt;\mathcal{R}_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. Further, when <inline-formula><tex-math id="M10">\begin{document}$ R_1&gt;1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><tex-math id="M11">\begin{document}$ E_1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> loses its stability and infectious equilibrium with defective interfering particles <inline-formula><tex-math id="M12">\begin{document}$ E_2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> occurs. There exists a constant <inline-formula><tex-math id="M13">\begin{document}$ R_2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> such that <inline-formula><tex-math id="M14">\begin{document}$ E_2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is asymptotically stable without time delay if <inline-formula><tex-math id="M15">\begin{document}$ 1&lt;R_1&lt;\mathcal{R}_0&lt;R_2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> and it loses its stability via Hopf bifurcation as the time delay increases. Numerical simulation is also presented to demonstrate the applicability of the theoretical predictions.</p>

In this work we investigate a new mathematical model that describes the interactions betweenCD4+ T cells, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), immune response and therapy with two drugs.Also an intracellular delay is incorporated into the model to express the lag between the time thevirus contacts a target cell and the time the cell becomes actively infected. The model dynamicsis completely defined by the basic reproduction number R0. If R0 ≤ 1 the disease-free equilibriumis globally asymptotically stable, and if R0 > 1, two endemic steady states exist, and their localstability depends on value of R0. We show that the intracellular delay affects on value of R0 becausea larger intracellular delay can reduce the value of R0 to below one. Finally, numerical simulationsare presented to illustrate our theoretical results.

In this paper, an SIQR (Susceptible, Infected, Quarantined, Recovered) epidemic model with vaccination, elimination, and quarantine hybrid strategies is proposed, and the dynamics of this model are analyzed by both theoretical and numerical means. Firstly, the basic reproduction number R 0 , which determines whether the disease is extinct or not, is derived. Secondly, by LaSalles invariance principle, it is proved that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R 0 < 1 , and the disease dies out. By Routh-Hurwitz criterion theory, we also prove that the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the unique endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R 0 > 1 . Thirdly, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, we obtain that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease persists at this endemic equilibrium if it initially exists when R 0 > 1 . Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analysis results.

In this study, we propose a new mathematical model and analyze it to understand the transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangkok, Thailand. It is divided into seven compartmental classes, namely, susceptible S , exposed E , symptomatically infected I s , asymptomatically infected I a , quarantined Q , recovered R , and death D , respectively. The next-generation matrix approach was used to compute the basic reproduction number denoted as R cvd 19 of the proposed model. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R cvd 19 < 1 . On the other hand, the global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium occurs if R cvd 19 > 1 . The mathematical analysis of the model is supported using numerical simulations. Moreover, the model’s analysis and numerical results prove that the consistent use of face masks would go on a long way in reducing the COVID-19 pandemic.

A more realistic mathematical model of malaria is introduced, in which we not only consider the recovered humans return to the susceptible class, but also consider the recovered humans return to the infectious class. The basic reproduction numberR0is calculated by next generation matrix method. It is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable ifR0≤1, and the system is uniformly persistence ifR0>1. Some numerical simulations are also given to explain our analytical results. Our results show that to control and eradicate the malaria, it is very necessary for the government to decrease the relapse rate and increase the recovery rate.

We use a model to study the dynamics of malaria in the human and mosquito population to explain the stability patterns of malaria. The model results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and occurs whenever the basic reproduction number,R0is less than unity. We also note that whenR0>1, the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the endemic equilibrium is stable. Numerical simulations show that recoveries and temporary immunity keep the populations at oscillation patterns and eventually converge to a steady state.

In this paper, an age-structured SEIS epidemic model with infectivity in incubative period is formulated and studied. The explicit expression of the basic reproduction number R0 is obtained. It is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R0 < 1, at least one endemic equilibrium exists if R0 > 1. The stability conditions of endemic equilibrium are also given.

We discuss the dynamics of new COVID-19 epidemic model by considering asymptomatic infections and the policies such as quarantine, protection (adherence to health protocols), and vaccination. The proposed model contains nine subpopulations: susceptible (S), exposed (E), symptomatic infected (I), asymptomatic infected (A), recovered (R), death (D), protected (P), quarantined (Q), and vaccinated (V ). We first show the non-negativity and boundedness of solutions. The equilibrium points, basic reproduction number, and stability of equilibrium points, both locally and globally, are also investigated analytically. The proposed model has disease-free equilibrium point and endemic equilibrium point. The disease-free equilibrium point always exists and is globally asymptotically stable if basic reproduction number is less than one. The endemic equilibrium point exists uniquely and is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. These properties have been confirmed by numerical simulations using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Numerical simulations show that the disease transmission rate of asymptomatic infection, quarantine rates, protection rate, and vaccination rates affect the basic reproduction number and hence also influence the stability of equilibrium points.

The aim of this paper is to study the dynamics of a reaction-diffusion SIR epidemic model with specific nonlinear incidence rate. The global existence, positivity, and boundedness of solutions for a reaction-diffusion system with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions are proved. The local stability of the disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium is obtained via characteristic equations. By means of Lyapunov functional, the global stability of both equilibria is investigated. More precisely, our results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to unity, which leads to the eradication of disease from population. When the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, then disease-free equilibrium becomes unstable and the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; in this case the disease persists in the population. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.

An epidemic model with incomplete treatment and vaccination for the newborns and susceptibles is constructed. We establish that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction numberR0. IfR0≤1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. IfR0>1, the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Some numerical simulations are also given to explain our conclusions.

We derive a discretized heroin epidemic model with delay by applying a nonstandard finite difference scheme. We obtain positivity of the solution and existence of the unique endemic equilibrium. We show that heroin-using free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction numberR0<1, and the heroin-using is permanent when the basic reproduction numberR0>1.
