Abstract:
This study analyzes a model of hepatitis C with acute infectious, chronic infectious and the recovery or immune classes. Stability characters of disease-free and endemic proportionate equilibrium points are discussed. The role of immune system on the long-term survival of the susceptible population is derived. It has been shown that chronic infected populations persist whenever acute infected class persists and conversely. Lastly, the criterion for robustness of the system is established under stochastic perturbations. Numerical simulations are also performed to validate the results obtained.
