Threshold dynamics for compartmental epidemic models with impulses
2011
Youping Yang | Yanni Xiao
The basic reproductive number and its calculation for general impulsive compartmental epidemic models, with pulses on both the infected and the uninfected compartments, are established. Theoretical results show that the basic reproductive number serves as a threshold parameter: the disease dies out if the basic reproductive number is smaller than unity, and breaks out if it is larger than unity. The global dynamics of a viral dynamical model with impulsive immune response is analyzed to study how the vaccination strength and the vaccination interval affect the basic reproductive number and virus progression.
