“…Typically, the functional response of the predator to prey is given by some particular function. In this paper we take as reference the model proposed in [19,20] that generalizes the one in [21] by considering general functions corresponding to the predation of uninfected and infected prey. Besides the population compartments, given by S, I and P that correspond, respectively, to the susceptible prey, infected prey and predator, we may understood Λ and µ as the (random) recruitment rate and the natural death rate of prey population, respectively, β as the incidence rate of the disease, η as the predation rate of infected prey, c as the death rate in the infective class, γ as the rate converting susceptible prey into predator (biomass transfer), r as the rate of converting infected prey into predator, f (S, I, P ) is the predation of susceptible prey and g(S, I, P ) is the predation of infected prey.…”
