Abstract
We investigate the dynamical behavior of a virus infection model with delayed nonlytic immune response. By analyzing corresponding characteristic equations, the local stabilities of two boundary equilibria are established. By using suitable Lyapunov functional and LaSalle’s invariance principle, we establish the global stability of the infection-free equilibrium. We find that the infection free equilibriumE0is globally asymptotically stable whenR0⩽1, and the infected equilibrium without immunityE1is local asymptotically stable when1<R0⩽1+bβ/cd. Under the conditionR0>1+bβ/cdwe obtain the sufficient conditions to the local stability of the infected equilibrium with immunityE2. We show that the time delay can change the stability ofE2and lead to the existence of Hopf bifurcations. The stabilities of bifurcating periodic solutions are studied and numerical simulations to our theorems are provided.
