Backward bifurcation, equilibrium and stability phenomena in a three-stage extended BRSV epidemic model

Abstract: In this paper we consider the phenomenon of backward bifurcation in epidemic modelling illustrated by an extended model for Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) amongst cattle. In its simplest form, backward bifurcation in epidemic models usually implies the existence of two subcritical endemic equilibria for R(0) < 1, where R(0) is the basic reproductive number, and a unique supercritical endemic equilibrium for R(0) > 1. In our three-stage extended model we find that more complex bifurcation diagrams ar… Show more

“…This could be interpreted as saying that a particular endemic equilibrium was LAS if, and only if, the gradient of the bifurcation at that point was positive. Interestingly enough, Greenhalgh and Griffiths (2009) found that these straightforward stability patterns did not always occur when the BRSV model was extended to three stages. The vertical turning points of the more complicated bifurcation curves were not necessarily the points at which a change in the stability of the endemic equilibria occurred.…”
