The threshold dynamics of a stochastic two-patch brucellosis model

Abstract

Abstract Brucellosis is one of the major infective and contagious bacterial diseases among animals in pastoral areas of some countries. In this paper, we introduce the effect of environment white noise in the spatial propagation process of brucellosis, and consider a stochastic two-patch brucellosis model. On one hand, we get existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution to the stochastic systems. On the other hand, by using the stochastic Lyapunov function theory we obtain a series of stochastic threshold dynamics results, incorporating extinction of the disease, existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solutions to systems in both patch 1 and patch 2. Furthermore, we find that stochastic perturbation is contribute to extinction of the disease to some extent by numerical simulations.
