Dynamics of a predator-prey system with prey subject to Allee effects and disease by Yun Kang, Sourav Kumar Sasmal, Amiya Ranjan Bhowmick, Joydev Chattopadhyay

“…In addition, the comparison study between the dynamics of SIP-Allee Model and SIP-no-Allee Model lead to the following conclusions: 1) In the presence of Allee effects, species are prone to extinction and initial condition plays an important role on the surviving of prey as well as its corresponding predator; 2) In the presence of Allee effects, disease may be able to save prey from the predation-driven extinction and leads to the coexistence of S and I-class while predator can not save the disease-driven extinction. …”
