Epidemic threshold conditions for seasonally forced SEIR models

In this paper we derive threshold conditions for eradication of diseases that can be described by seasonally forced susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) models or their variants. For autonomous models, the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0 < 1$ is usually both necessary and suff...
