In this paper, a HTLV-I infection model with two delays is considered. It is found that the dynamics of this model are determined by two threshold parameters R0 and R1, basic reproduction numbers for viral infection and for CTL response, respectively. If R0 < 1, the infection-free equilibrium P0 is globally asymptotically stable. If R1 < 1 < R0, the asymptomatic-carrier equilibrium P1 is globally asymptotically stable. If R1 > 1, there exists a unique HAM/TSP equilibrium P2. The stability of P2 is changed when the second delay τ2 varies, that is there exist stability switches for P2.

This paper is devoted to the study of the stability of a CD[Formula: see text] T cell viral infection model with diffusion. First, we discuss the well-posedness of the model and the existence of endemic equilibrium. Second, by analyzing the roots of the characteristic equation, we establish the local stability of the virus-free equilibrium. Furthermore, by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we show that the virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the threshold value [Formula: see text]; the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Finally, we give an application and numerical simulations to illustrate the main results.

The basic viral infection models, proposed by Nowak et al. and Perelson et al., respectively, have been widely used to describe viral infection such as HBV and HIV infection. However, the basic reproduction numbers of the two models are proportional to the number of total cells of the host's organ prior to the infection, which seems not to be reasonable. In this paper, we formulate an amended model with a general standard incidence rate. The basic reproduction number of the amended model is independent of total cells of the host’s organ. When the basic reproduction numberR0<1, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the virus is cleared. Moreover, ifR0>1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the virus persists in the host.

In this paper, we have considered a viral infection model with delayed CTL response and cure rate. For this model, we have researched the stability of these three equilibriums depend on two threshold parameters and , that is, if , the infected-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable; if , the infected equilibrium without CTL response is globally asymptotically stable; and if , the infected equilibrium exists, at he same time, we have found that the time delay can lead to Hopf bifurcations and stable periodic solutions when the is unstable.

The stability of a mathematical model for viral infection with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response is considered in this paper. If the basic reproduction number R ≤1, by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and Lyapunov function, the uninfected equilibrium E is globally asymptotically stable. Then, the global stability of the infected equilibrium E is obtained by the method of Lyapunov function

The basic models of within-host viral infection, proposed by Nowak and May2 and Perelson and Nelson,5 have been widely used in the studies of HBV and HIV infections. The basic reproduction numbers of the two models are proportional to the number of total cells of the host's organ prior to the infection. In this paper, we formulate an amended Perelson and Nelson's model with standard incidence. The basic reproduction number of the amended model is independent of total cells of the host's organ. If the basic reproduction number R0 < 1, then the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the virus is cleared; if R0 > 1, then the virus persists in the host, and solutions approach either an endemic equilibrium or a periodic orbit. Numerical simulations of this model agree well with the clinical HBV infection data. This can provide a possible interpretation for the viral oscillation behaviors, which were observed in chronic HBV infection patients.

A delayed HIV-1 infection model with CTL immune response is investigated. By using suitable Lyapunov functionals, it is proved that the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction ratio for viral infection is less than or equal to unity; if the basic reproduction ratio for CTL immune response is less than or equal to unity and the basic reproduction ratio for viral infection is greater than unity, the CTL-inactivated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; if the basic reproduction ratio for CTL immune response is greater than unity, the CTL-activated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable.

In this paper, we study a delayed viral infection model with cellular infection and full logistic proliferations for both healthy and infected cells. The global asymptotic stabilities of the equilibria are studied by constructing Lyapunov functionals. Moreover, we investigated the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the infected equilibrium by regarding the possible combination of the two delays as bifurcation parameters. The results show that time delays may destabilize the infected equilibrium and lead to Hopf bifurcation. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results and explore the dynamics including Hopf bifurcation and stability switches.

A competitive Lotka–Volterra reaction-diffusion system with two delays subject to Neumann boundary conditions is considered. It is well known that the positive constant steady state of the system is globally asymptotically stable if the interspecies competition is weaker than the intraspecies one and is unstable if the interspecies competition dominates over the intraspecies one. If the latter holds, then we show that Hopf bifurcation can occur as the parameters (delays) in the system cross some critical values. In particular, we prove that these Hopf bifurcations are all spatially homogeneous if the diffusive rates are suitably large, which has the same properties as Hopf bifurcation of the corresponding delayed system without diffusion. However, if the diffusive rates are suitably small, then the system generates the spatially nonhomogeneous Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, we derive conditions for determining the direction of spatially nonhomogeneous Hopf bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. These results indicate that the diffusion plays an important role for deriving the complex spatiotemporal dynamics.

A nutrient-phytoplankton model with multiple delays is studied analytically and numerically. The aim of this paper is to study how the delay factors influence dynamics of interaction between nutrient and phytoplankton. The analytical analysis indicates that the positive equilibrium is always globally asymptotically stable when the delay does not exist. On the contrary, the positive equilibrium loses its stability via Hopf instability induced by delay and then the corresponding periodic solutions emerge. Especially, the stability switches for positive equilibrium occur as the delay is increased. Furthermore, the numerical simulations show that periodic-2 and periodic-3 solutions can appear due to the existence of delays. Numerical results are consistent with the analytical results. Our results demonstrate that the delay has a great impact on the nutrient-phytoplankton dynamics.

In this paper, mathematical analysis of the global dynamics of a viral infection model in vivo is carried out. Though the model is originally to study hepatitis C virus (HCV) dynamics in patients with high baseline viral loads or advanced liver disease, similar models still hold significance for other viral infection, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. By means of Volterra-type Lyapunov functions, we know that the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] is a sharp threshold para-meter for the outcomes of viral infections. If [Formula: see text], the virus-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. If [Formula: see text], the system is uniformly persistent, the unique endemic equilibrium appears and is globally asymptotically stable under a sufficient condition. Other than that, for the global stability of the unique endemic equilibrium, another sufficient condition is obtained by Li–Muldowney global-stability criterion. Using numerical simulation techniques, we further find that sustained oscillations can exist and different maximum de novo hepatocyte influx rate can induce different global dynamics along with the change of overall drug effectiveness. Finally, some biological implications of our findings are given.
