Global dynamics of SEIRS epidemic model with non-linear generalized incidences and preventive vaccination

In this paper, we present the global dynamics of an SEIRS epidemic model for an infectious disease not containing the permanent acquired immunity with non-linear generalized incidence rate and preventive vaccination. The model exhibits two equilibria: the disease-free and endemic equilibrium. The disease-free equilibrium is stable locally as well as globally when the basic reproduction number R-0 < 1 and an unstable equilibrium occurs for R-0 > 1. Moreover, the endemic equilibrium is stable both locally and globally when R-0 > 1. We show the global stability of an endemic equilibrium by a geometric approach. Further, numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical results. Finally, we conclude our work with a brief discussion.
