“…, where 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 ≥ 0 are the saturation factors measuring the psychological or inhibitory effect and > 0 is the infection rate. In addition, this functional response generalizes many common types existing in the literature such as the specific functional response proposed by Hattaf et al in [37] and used in [2,31] when 0 = 1; the Crowley-Martin functional response introduced in [38] and used in [39] when 0 = 1 and 3 = 1 2 ; and the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response proposed in [40,41] and used in [3,4,10] when 0 = 1 and 3 = 0. Also, the Hattaf-Yousfi functional response is reduced to the saturated incidence rate used in [9] when 0 = 1 and 1 = 3 = 0 and the standard incidence function used in [27] when 0 = 3 = 0 and 1 = 2 = 1, and it was simplified to the bilinear incidence rate used in [5,6] when 0 = 1 and…”
