Stability analysis of a vector-borne disease with variable human population (Q369858)

Summary: A mathematical model of a vector-borne disease involving a variable human population is analyzed. The varying population size includes a term for disease-related deaths. Equilibria and stability are determined for the system of ordinary differential equations. If \(R_0 \leq 1\), the disease-``free'' equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease always dies out. If \(R_0 > 1\), a unique ``endemic'' equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in the interior of feasible region and the disease persists at the ``endemic'' level. Our theoretical results are sustained by numerical simulations.
