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.

We have developed a class of viral infection model with cell-to-cell transmission and humoral immune response. The model addresses both immune and intracellular delays. We also constructed Lyapunov functionals to establish the global dynamical properties of the equilibria. Theoretical results indicate that considering only two intracellular delays did not affect the dynamical behavior of the model, but incorporating an immune delay greatly affects the dynamics, i.e. an immune delay may destabilize the immunity-activated equilibrium and lead to Hopf bifurcation, oscillations and stability switches. Our results imply that an immune delay dominates the intracellular delays in the model. We also investigated the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the periodic solutions by applying normal form and center manifold theory, and investigated the existence of global Hopf bifurcation by regarding the immune delay as a bifurcation parameter. Numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytical conclusions.

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.
