Global stability analysis for SEIS models with \(n\) latent classes (Q932457)

An SEIS model with \(n\) classes of latent individuals and bilinear incidences is studied. The system exhibits the traditional behavior. For this model the basic reproduction ratio \(\mathcal R_0\) is computed. It is shown that if \(\mathcal R_0\leq 1\), then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable on the nonnegative orthant and if \(\mathcal R_0> 1\), an endemic equilibrium exists and is globally asymptotically stable on the positive orthant.
