Ergodic stationary distribution and practical application of a hybrid stochastic cholera transmission model with waning vaccine‐induced immunity under nonlinear regime switching

Abstract

Considering the effect of stochasticity including white noise and colored noise, this paper aims to study a hybrid stochastic cholera epidemic model with waning vaccine‐induced immunity and nonlinear telegraph perturbations. First, we derive a critical value ℛ0C related to the basic reproduction number ℛ0 of the deterministic model. The key aim of this paper is to generalize the θ‐stochastic criterion method proposed by the recent work (Han et al. in Chaos Solit Fract 140:110238, 2020) to eliminate nonlinear telegraph perturbations. Next, via constructing several θ‐stochastic Lyapunov functions and using the generalized method, we further prove that the stochastic model have a unique ergodic stationary distribution under ℛ0C>1. Results show that the prevention and control of cholera epidemic depend on low transmission rate and small telegraph perturbations. Finally, the corresponding numerical simulations are performed to illustrate our analytical results and a practical application on the Somalia cholera outbreak is shown at the end of this paper.

Polynomial ergodicity of an SIRS epidemic model with density‐dependent demographics

“…Cai et al 4 investigated a stochastic SIRS epidemic model and discovered that random perturbations could suppress disease outbreaks. We also refer the readers to Nguyen et al, 20 Dieu et al, 21 Li et al, 22 Tan et al, 23 Privault and Wang, 24 Zhou et al, 25 and the references therein for some related investigations.…”

A multi‐group SEIRI epidemic model with logistic population growth under discrete Markov switching: Extinction, persistence, and positive recurrence

“…Zhang et al 21 constructed a stochastic eco‐epidemiological model with disease in predators, and analyzed the fundamental properties of their model. Furthermore, it has been shown that modeling the behavior of dynamical systems by stochastic differential equations with colored noises has more advantages than deterministic modeling 22–33 . Gray et al 25 first put forward and studied a piecewise deterministic SIS epidemic model with Markovian switching.…”
