We have developed a class of viral infection model with cell-to-cell transmission and humoral immune response. The model addresses both immune and intracellular delays. We also constructed Lyapunov functionals to establish the global dynamical properties of the equilibria. Theoretical results indicate that considering only two intracellular delays did not affect the dynamical behavior of the model, but incorporating an immune delay greatly affects the dynamics, i.e. an immune delay may destabilize the immunity-activated equilibrium and lead to Hopf bifurcation, oscillations and stability switches. Our results imply that an immune delay dominates the intracellular delays in the model. We also investigated the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the periodic solutions by applying normal form and center manifold theory, and investigated the existence of global Hopf bifurcation by regarding the immune delay as a bifurcation parameter. Numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytical conclusions.

A viral infection model with saturated incidence rate and viral infection with delay is derived and analyzed; the incidence rate is assumed to be a specific nonlinear formβxv/(1+αv). The existence and uniqueness of equilibrium are proved. The basic reproductive numberR0is given. The model is divided into two cases: with or without delay. In each case, by constructing Lyapunov functionals, necessary and sufficient conditions are given to ensure the global stability of the models.

AbstractIn this paper, we discussed a infinitely distributed delayed viral infection model with nonlinear immune response and general incidence rate. We proved the existence and uniqueness of the equilibria. By using the Lyapunov functional and LaSalle invariance principle, we obtained the conditions of global stabilities of the infection-free equilibrium, the immune-exhausted equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. Numerical simulations are given to verify the analytical results.
