Abstract

In this paper a pulse vaccination SIR model with periodic infection rate β(t) is studied. The basic reproductive number R 0 is defined. The dynamical behavior of the model is analyzed. It is proved that the infection-free periodic solution is globally stable if R 0 < 1. The infection-free periodic solution is unstable and the disease will uniform persistence when R 0 > 1. We use standard bifurcation theory to show the existence of the positive periodic solution when R 0 → 1 +. Numerical simulation can give suggestion, the system has a unique positive periodic, and it is globally stable when R 0 > 1.
