Abstract

In this paper, we would like compare the spread of an infectious disease in a population without the influence of a predator and under its influence. We show that it is possible to control an epidemic in a population with the help of predators. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Models of particular epidemiological systems can rapidly become complicated by biological detail which can obscure their essential features and behaviour. In general, we wish to retain only those components and processes that contribute to the dynamics of the system. In this paper, we apply asymptot

## Abstract We describe an SIR epidemic model with a discrete time lag, analyse the local stability of its equilibria as well as the effects of delay on the reproduction number and on the dynamical behaviour of the system. The model has two equilibria—a necessary condition for local asymptotic stab

## 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

In [1], there was a typographical error in the entries of the off-diagonal elements of the matrix A(t), starting on the line before Equation ( 15). The purpose of this current note is to correct this mistake and propose a direction for future work. Choose W 1 , W 2 > 0 such that W 2 = W 1 e -h I \*
