摘要：This paper studies the global properties of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) dynamics models with both CHIKV-to-monocytes and infected-to-monocyte transmissions. We assume that the infection rate of modeling CHIKV infection is given by saturated mass action. The effect of antibody immune response on the virus dynamics is modeled. The models included three types of time delays, discrete or distributed. The first type of delay is the time between CHIKV entry an uninfected monocyte to be latently infected monocyte. The second time delay is the time between CHIKV entry an uninfected monocyte and the emission of immature CHIKV. The third time delay represents the CHIKV’s maturation time. Lyapunov method is utilized and LaSalle’s invariance principle is applied to address the global stability of equilibria. The model is numerically simulated to support theoretical results.
