Stability of an SIRS Epidemic Model with Saturated Incidence Rate and Saturated Treatment Function

Stability of an SIRS Epidemic Model with Saturated Incidence Rate and Saturated Treatment Function

In this paper the global dynamics of susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible (SIRS) epidemic model with saturated incidence rate and saturated treatment function is studied. Firstly, the basic reproduction number $R_0$ is calculated and the existence of the disease-free and positive equilibria is showed. In addition, local stability of the equilibria is investigated. Then, sufficient conditions are achieved for global stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria. Finally, the numerical examples are presented to validate the theoretical results.
