In this paper, we study the dynamics of a viral infection model formulated by five fractional differential equations (FDEs) to describe the interactions between host cells, virus, and humoral immunity presented by antibodies. The infection transmission process is modeled by Hattaf-Yousfi functional response which covers several forms of incidence rate existing in the literature. We first show that the model is mathematically and biologically well-posed. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, the global stability of equilibria is established and characterized by two threshold parameters. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical analysis.

A general nonlinear mathematical model for the viral infection with humoral immunity and two distributed delays is proposed and analyzed. Two bifurcation parameters, the basic reproduction number, [Formula: see text] and the humoral immunity number, [Formula: see text] are derived. We established a set of conditions on the general functions which are sufficient to determine the global dynamics of the model. Utilizing Lyapunov functions and LaSalle’s invariance principle, the global asymptotic stability of all equilibria of the model is obtained. An example is presented and some numerical simulations are conducted in order to illustrate the dynamical behavior.

In this paper, a discrete-time model has been proposed by applying nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme to solve a delayed viral infection model with immune response and general nonlinear incidence. It is shown that the discrete model has equilibria which are exactly the same as those of the original continuous model. Using discrete-time analogue of Lyapunov functionals, the global asymptotic stability of the equilibria of the discrete model is fully determined by the basic reproduction number of the virus and immune response, R0 and R1, with no restriction on the time step size, which implies that the NSFD scheme preserves the qualitative dynamics of the corresponding continuous model.

We formulate a (2n+2)-dimensional viral infection model with humoral immunity,nclasses of uninfected target cells and  nclasses of infected cells. The incidence rate of infection is given by nonlinear incidence rate, Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The model admits discrete time delays describing the time needed for infection of uninfected target cells and virus replication. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, we establish that the global dynamics are determined by two sharp threshold parameters:R0andR1. Namely, a typical two-threshold scenario is shown. IfR0≤1, the infection-free equilibriumP0is globally asymptotically stable, and the viruses are cleared. IfR1≤1<R0, the immune-free equilibriumP1is globally asymptotically stable, and the infection becomes chronic but with no persistent antibody immune response. IfR1>1, the endemic equilibriumP2is globally asymptotically stable, and the infection is chronic with persistent antibody immune response.
