Abstract:
An epidemic model with two parallel infectious stages and time delays and pulse vaccination is proposed. We introduce four thresholds and further obtain the conditions that the disease will be extinct or not. Corollaries show that under condition that the disease will fade out, and if , the disease will be endemic. Our results indicate that a larger pulse vaccination rate will lead to the eradication of a disease. Furthermore, two thresholds and show that the diversity of the contagiousness affects the basic properties of these models. In addition, numerical results indicate that the probability for an infected individual to enter different infective compartments greatly affects two infective compartments.
