Abstract:

An epidemic model with Beverton-Holt birth rate function and two stage-structure is established, vertical transmission is considered in the model, and the disease is only transmitted among adult individuals. The existence of equilibria of the model is analyzed, and the stability of equilibria of the model is obtained by constructing Lyapunov function, and the condition for the backward bifurcation of the model is determined. Finally, the analysis result is verified by numerical simulation.

Key words: stage structure, equilibrium, stability, backward bifurcation, the basic reproduction number
