Abstract
A system of impulsive differential equations describing predator-prey dynamics with impulsive effect is proposed and analyzed with the assumption that a transmissible disease is spreading among the prey species only. At first, the "semi-trivial" periodic solution (S (t), 0, 0) is given. After that, the existence of "infection-free" periodic solution (S (t), 0, P (t)) and the "predator-free" periodic solution have been obtained via bifurcation. Finally, the method of coincidence degree has been used to derive a set of sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one strictly positive periodic solution. Numerical simulations and a brief discussion conclude the paper.
