Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Immunology
  • Infectious Disease Dynamics

Background:

  • Infectious disease models are crucial for understanding pathogen dynamics.
  • Mathematical analysis of stability is key to predicting disease persistence or eradication.
  • Humoral immune responses play a vital role in controlling infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the stability of interior equilibria in infectious disease models.
  • To investigate the impact of pathogen absorption and immune cell involvement on disease dynamics.
  • To derive conditions for asymptotic stability of the interior equilibrium.

Main Methods:

  • Mathematical modeling of pathogen-host interactions.
  • Stability analysis of equilibrium points.

  • Use of symbolic calculation software for analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Ignoring pathogen absorption leads to a stable interior equilibrium.
    • Including pathogen absorption can cause instability and Hopf bifurcations.
    • A sufficient condition for asymptotic stability was derived and validated with experimental parameters.
    • Involvement of uninfected cells in immune response significantly impacts equilibrium stability.

    Conclusions:

    • Pathogen absorption is a critical factor influencing disease stability.
    • The derived stability condition is applicable to real-world experimental data.
    • Immune cell involvement adds complexity to disease dynamics, requiring careful model consideration.
