✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we study a heroin epidemic model with distributed time delays. The basic reproduction number R 0 for the model is identified and the threshold property of R 0 is established. It is shown that drug-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R 0 < 1. When R 0 > 1, there is a disease endemic equilibrium which is locally asymptotically stable, it is proved that the disease is uniformly persistent in the population, and explicit formulae are obtained by which the eventual lower bound of the drug user individuals can be computed.

## Abstract We study the stability of a delay susceptible–infective–recovered epidemic model with time delay. The model is formulated under the assumption that all individuals are susceptible, and we analyse the global stability __via__ two methods—by Lyapunov functionals, and—in terms of the varia
