Stability and bifurcation analysis of epidemic models with saturated incidence rates: An application to a nonmonotone incidence rate by Yoichi Enatsu, Yukihiko Nakata

“…The incidence rate is given by a general saturated function of the number of infective individuals.Our first aim is to find a class of nonmonotone incidence rates such that a unique endemic equilibrium is always asymptotically stable.We establish a characterization for the incidence rate, which shows that nonmonotonicity with delay in the incidence rate is necessary for destabilization of the endemic equilibrium. …”

A data-driven semi-parametric model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the United States. by John M Drake, Andreas Handel, Éric Marty, Eamon B O'Dea, Tierney O'Sullivan, Giovanni Righi, Andrew T Tredennick

“…We estimate time-varying transmission rate, parameters of a sigmoidal time-varying fraction of hospitalized cases that result in death, extra-demographic process noise, two dispersion parameters of the observation process, and the initial sizes of the latent, asymptomatic, and symptomatic classes. In a retrospective analysis covering March-December 2020, we show how mobility and transmission strength became decoupled across two distinct phases of the pandemic. …”
