Article Synopsis
- The paper presents a basic reproduction number for a multi-group SIR model that incorporates a general relapse distribution and a nonlinear incidence rate, highlighting its importance as a threshold for understanding disease dynamics.
- If the basic reproduction number is less than or equal to one, the disease-free equilibrium is globally stable, leading to the disease's extinction; if greater than one, a unique endemic equilibrium persists globally, indicating continued disease presence in the population.
- The findings suggest that the general relapse distribution does not contribute to sustained oscillations, making the model relevant for sexually transmitted diseases like Herpes and Condyloma acuminatum.
