Abstract

An epidemic model with saturated incidence rate and vaccination is investigated. The model exhibits two equilibria namely disease-free and endemic equilibria. It is shown that if the basic reproduction number ( ) 0 R is less than unity, the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable and in such case, the endemic equilibrium does not exist. Also, it is shown that if 1 0 R  , the disease is persistent and the unique endemic equilibrium of the system with saturation incidence is locally asymptotically stable. Lyapunov function and Dulac’s criterion plus Poincare-Bendixson theorem are applied to prove the global stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria respectively. The effect of vaccine in the model is critically looked into. Keywords: Basic Reproduction Number, Dulac’s Criterion, Epidemic Model, Lyapunov Function, Poincare- Bendixson Theorem, Vaccination.
