Abstract:
In this paper, we study the dynamics of an infectious disease in the presence of a continuous-imperfect vaccine and latent period. We consider a general incidence rate function with a non-monotonicity property to interpret the psychological effect in the susceptible population. After we propose the model, we provide the well-posedness property and calculate the effective reproduction number . Then, we obtain the threshold dynamics of the system with respect to by studying the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium when and the system persistence when . For the endemic equilibrium, we use the semi-discretization method to analyze its linear stability. Then, we discuss the critical vaccination coverage rate that is required to eliminate the disease. Numerical simulations are provided to implement a case study regarding data of influenza patients, study the local and global sensitivity of , construct approximate stability charts for the endemic equilibrium over different parameter spaces and explore the sensitivity of the proposed model solutions.

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.
