In this paper, we propose and analyze a detailed mathematical model describing the dynamics of a prey-predator model under the influence of an SIS infectious disease by using nonlinear differential equations. We use the functional response of ratio-dependent Michaelis-Menten type to describe the predation strategy. In the presence of the disease, prey and predator population are divided into two disjointed classes, namely infected and susceptible. The first one is governed through due predation interaction, and the second one is governed through the propagation of disease in the prey and predator population via predation. Our aim is to analyze the effect of predation on the dynamic of the disease transmission. Important mathematical results resulting from the transmission of the disease under influence of predation are offered. First, results concerning boundedness, uniform persistence, existence and uniqueness of solutions have been developed. In addition, many thresholds have been computed and used to investigate local and global stability analysis by using Routh-Hurwitz criterion and Lyapunov principle. We also establish the Hopf bifurcation to highlight periodic fluctuation with persistence of the disease or without disease in the prey and predator population. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the feasibility of the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, our aim is mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of a prey-predator model to describe the effect of predation between prey and predator with nonlinear functional response. First, we develop results concerning the boundedness, the existence and uniqueness of the solution. Furthermore, the Lyapunov principle and the Routh–Hurwitz criterion are applied to study respectively the local and global stability results. We also establish the Hopf-bifurcation to show the existence of a branch of nontrivial periodic solutions. Finally, numerical simulations have been accomplished to validate our analytical findings.

In this paper we propose a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system describing the interaction between toxin-producing phytoplankton and fish population. We analyze the effect of self- and cross-diffusion on the dynamics of the system. The existence, uniqueness and uniform boundedness of solutions are established in the positive octant. The system is analyzed for various interesting dynamical behaviors which include boundedness, persistence, local stability, global stability around each equilibria based on some conditions on self- and cross-diffusion coefficients. The analytical findings are verified by numerical simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we present a mathematical model of malaria transmission. The model is an autonomous system, constructed by considering two models: a model of vector population and a model of virus transmission. The threshold dynamics of each model is determined and a relation between them established. Furthermore, the Lyapunov principle is applied to study the stability of equilibrium points. The common basic reproduction number has been determined using the next generation matrix and its implication for malaria management analyzed. Hence, we show that if the threshold dynamics quantities are less than unity, the mosquitoes population disappears leading to malaria disappearance; but if they are greater than unity, mosquitoes population persists and malaria also.Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to support our mathematical results.

Generally, the infection process of most vector-borne diseases involves a latent period in both human hosts and vectors. With regards to other publications, Tian and Song have recently proposed an SIR-SI model to analyze the effects of the incubation period on a vector-borne disease with nonlinear transmission rate. But they were silent on the fact that the partially immune individuals are slightly infective to mosquitoes. So, by considering that the partially immune individuals remain slightly infective to mosquitoes, a similar work has been done in this paper for malaria global transmission dynamics following an SIRS-SI pattern. The basic reproduction ratio has been calculated using the next-generation matrix method. Furthermore, using the characteristic equations and inequality analytical techniques, conditions are given under which the system exhibits threshold behavior as follows: when R0 < 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable meaning that the disease will eventually die out; and the unique endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R0 > 1 meaning that the disease will persist. Finally, some numerical simulations have been performed to illustrate our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
