Abstract

The global dynamics of a periodic SIS epidemic model with maturation delay is investigated. We first obtain sufficient conditions for the single population growth equation to admit a globally attractive positive periodic solution. Then we introduce the basic reproduction ratio R0) for the epidemic model, and show that the disease dies out when R0 < 1, and the disease remains endemic when R0 > 1. Numerical simulations are also provided to confirm our analytic results.
