Dynamics of epidemic models with asymptomatic infection and seasonal succession by Yilei Tang, Dongmei Xiao, Weinian Zhang, Di Zhu

“…It is shown that the model has only a disease-free equilibrium which is globally stable if $\mathcal{R}_0≤ 1$, and as $\mathcal{R}_0 \gt 1$ the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and there is an endemic equilibrium, which is globally stable if the recovering rates of asymptomatic infectives and symptomatic infectives are close. …”
