Abstract
A delayed SEIR epidemic model with vertical transmission and non-monotonic incidence is formulated. The equilibria and the threshold of the model have been determined on the bases of the basic reproduction number. The local stability of disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium is established by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations. By comparison arguments, it is proved that, if R0 < 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Whereas, the disease-free equilibrium is unstable if R0 > 1. Moreover, we show that the disease is permanent if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions are obtained for the global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium when R0 > 1.
