$R_0$ and the global behavior of an age-structured SIS epidemic model with periodicity and vertical transmission by Toshikazu Kuniya, Mimmo Iannelli

“…We show that the spectral radius of the Fréchet derivative of a nonlinear integral operator plays the role of a threshold value for the global behavior of the model, that is, if the value is less than unity, then the disease-free steady state of the model is globally asymptotically stable, while if the value is greater than unity, then the model has a unique globally asymptotically stable endemic (nontrivial) periodic solution. We also show that the value can coincide with the well-know epidemiological threshold value, the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$.…”

On the Global Dynamics of a Vector-Borne Disease Model with Age of Vaccination by Stanislas Ouaro, Ali Traoré

“…The global dynamics of the equilibria are investigated and we show that if the basic reproduction number is less than 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; that is, the disease dies out, while if the basic reproduction number is larger than 1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, which means that the disease persists in the population. …”
