Abstract:

The aim of this study is to introduce an impulsive SEIQRS epidemic model with time delays,  quarantine measure and nonlinear incidence rate. The total population size is varied. The global attractivity of an `infection-free' periodic solution, the existence, and the permanence of an endemic periodic solution are investigated. We obtain a sufficient condition for the permanence of the epidemic model with pulse vaccination. We show that time delay, pulse vaccination can bring different effects on the dynamic behavior of the model by numerical analysis. Our results also show a smaller pulse vaccination rate or a shorter latent period of the disease or a shorter immunity period of the recovered could cause global attractive `infection-free' periodic solution to lose and epidemic disease to be permanent. The main feature of this study is to introduce three time delays, nonlinear incidence rates and impulses into the SEIQRS epidemic model and give pulse vaccination strategies.

Key words: Nonlinear incidence rate, Time delay,  Pulse vaccination, Quarantine, Permanence
