 Two profitless delays for an SEIRS epidemic disease model with vertical transmission and pulse vaccinationXinzhu Meng, Jianjun Jiao and Lansun Chen Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2009, vol. 40, issue 5, 2114-2125 Abstract: Since the investigation of impulsive delay differential equations is beginning, the literature on delay epidemic models with pulse vaccination is not extensive. In this paper, we propose a new SEIRS epidemic disease model with two profitless delays and vertical transmission, and analyze the dynamics behaviors of the model under pulse vaccination. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain a ‘infection-free’ periodic solution, further, show that the ‘infection-free’ periodic solution is globally attractive when some parameters of the model are under appropriate conditions. Using a new modeling method, we obtain sufficient condition for the permanence of the epidemic model with pulse vaccination. We show that time delays, pulse vaccination and vertical transmission can bring different effects on the dynamics behaviors of the model by numerical analysis. Our results also show the delays are “profitless”. In this paper, the main feature is to introduce two discrete time delays, vertical transmission and impulse into SEIRS epidemic model and to give pulse vaccination strategies.
