Global dynamics and bifurcation in delayed SIR epidemic model (Q546156)

The authors extend the work of \textit{J.-Z. Zhang} et al. [Discrete Dyn. Nat. Soc. 2008, Article ID 636153 (2008; Zbl 1159.92037)] by incorporating a new variable into the model denoting the information about the current state of disease and formulate an SIR epidemic model with time delay. Then, they discuss the existence of transcritical bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, and the local and global stability of the endemic equilibrium. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to explain the mathematical conclusions.
