Dynamics of an avian influenza model with half-saturated incidence

Abstract In this paper, an avian influenza epidemic model with half saturated incidence is investigated. Firstly we study the local asymptotical stability of equilibria of the deterministic model. Then for the stochastic model, the existence of the global positive solution is proved and different thresholds are obtained. In addition, we get sufficient conditions for the existence of an ergodic stationary distribution by using Has’minskii theory and Lyapunov function. Finally, some numerical simulations illustrate the analytical results.
