Abstract:
A susceptible-vaccinated-infectious-recovered epidemic model with infection age and relapse age has been formulated. We first address the asymptotic smoothness of the solution semiflow, existence of a global attractor, and uniform persistence of the model. Then by constructing suitable Volterra-type Lyapunov functionals, we establish a global threshold dynamics of the model, which is determined by the basic reproduction number. Biologically, it is confirmed that neglecting the possibility of vaccinees getting infected will over-estimate the effect of vaccination strategies. The obtained results generalize some existing ones.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
