On the stability properties of a stochastic model for phage-bacteria interaction in open marine environment. (English) Zbl 0987.92027

Summary: We extend the deterministic model for the epidemics induced by virulent phages on bacteria in marine environment introduced by E. Beretta and Y. Kuang [ibid. 149, No. 1, 57-76 (1998; Zbl 0946.92012)], allowing random fluctuations around the positive equilibrium. The stochastic stability properties of the model are investigated both analytically and numerically suggesting that the deterministic model is robust with respect to stochastic perturbations.
