Threshold behaviour of a SIR epidemic model with age structure and immigration

Abstract: Abstract. We consider a SIR age-structured model with immigration of infectives in all epidemiological compartments; the population is supposed in demographic equilibrium between below-replacement fertility and immigration; the spread of the infection occurs through a general age-dependent kernel. We analyse the equations for steady states; because of immigration of infectives a steady state with a positive density of infectives always exists; however, a quasi-threshold theorem is proved, in the sense that, be… Show more

“…where the fraction of recovered is obtained from R(z, t) = 1 − S(z, t) − I(z, t). We refer to [26,25,21,27] for analytical results concerning model (2) and (3) in a deterministic setting.…”

“…The previous model can be extended to include vital dynamics [23], delays equations [24], age structured population, migration [25], and diffusion. In any case, all these generalizations only introduce some slight changes on the steady states of the system, or in the case of spatially extended models, travelling waves [26].…”

“…Therefore, the fact that the length of the period of infectivity is α is expressed by the condition lim a→α a 0 q(t − a + s, s, x)ds = +∞, uniformly for (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × V. (1.8) Age-structured epidemics models of various kind, without spatial heterogeneity, are analyzed since many years: see e.g. [4,7,15,17,18]. If diffusion is taken into consideration epidemic models with age structure are studied in [5], where existence of periodic solutions is investigated in the case V = R n and with a time periodic forcing, in [12] and [13], where existence of traveling wave solutions is investigated in the scalar case and in [19], where approximate solutions using Galerkin methods are considered.…”
