Vaccination strategies and backward bifurcation in an age-since-infection structured model. (English) Zbl 0998.92033

Summary: We consider models for a disease with acute and chronic infective stages, and variable infectivity and recovery rates, within the context of a vaccination campaign. Models for SIRS and SIS disease cycles exhibit backward bifurcations under certain conditions, which complicate the criteria for success of the vaccination compaign by making it possible to have stable endemic states when \(R_0< 1\). We also show the extent to which the forms of the infectivity and recovery functions affect the possibility of backward bifurcations. SIR and SI models examined do not exhibit this behavior.
