Considering the mechanism of quorum sensing, we formulate a bacteria-immunity model to describe the competition between bacteria and immune cells on the basis of Zhang's model (see [9] for more details). A time delay is introduced to characterize the time in which bacteria receive signal molecules a

A chemostat model of a single species feeding on a limiting nutrient supplied at a constant rate is proposed. The model incorporates a general nutrient uptake function and a distributed delay. The delay indicates that the growth of the species depends on the past concentration of nutrient. Using the
In the present work, a mathematical model of predator-prey ecological interaction with infected prey is investigated. A saturation incidence function is used to model the behavioral change of the susceptible individuals when their number increases or due to the crowding effect of the infected indivi
