A SIS epidemic model with impulsive vaccination

Abstract

This paper studies a time-varying SIS (i.e. containing susceptible and infected populations) propagation disease model exhibiting a nonlinear incidence rate and impulsive eventual culling of both populations so that the individuals recover with no immunity to the disease. The nonlinear incidence rate consists of two time-varying additive terms proportional to the susceptible and infected populations normalized to the total population.
