摘要:

In this article, we establish the global asymptotic stability of a disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium of an SIRS epidemic model with a class of nonlin-ear incidence rates and distributed delays. By using strict monotonicity of the incidence function and constructing a Lyapunov functional, we obtain sufficient conditions under which the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. When the nonlinear inci-dence rate is a saturated incidence rate, our result provides a new global stability condition for a small rate of immunity loss.

When the nonlinear inci-dence rate is a saturated incidence rate, our result provides a new global stability condition for a small rate of immunity loss.
