Stability of Disease Free Equilibria in Epidemiological Models
M'Hammed El Kahoui 1, Adamou Otto 2, 3
(2009)

In this paper we study the structural properties of epidemiological models and we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of their disease free equilibria. We then show that for a large class of models our condition may be explicitly obtained by using symbolic computation tools. We also give a sufficient condition for the global stability of the disease free equilibrium.
