An SIRS epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate is studied. It is assumed that susceptible and infectious individuals have constant immigration rates. By means of Dulac function and Poincare-Bendixson Theorem, we proved the global asymptotical stable results of the disease-free equilibrium. It is then obtained the model undergoes Hopf bifurcation and existence of one limit cycle. Some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the analytical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
