Abstract

We propose a within-host mathematical model for the dynamics of Usutu virus infection, incorporating Crowley–Martin functional response. The basic reproduction number R0 is found by applying the next-generation matrix approach. Depending on this threshold, parameter, global asymptotic stability of one of the two possible equilibria is also established via constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions and using LaSalle’s invariance principle. We present numerical simulations to illustrate the results and a sensitivity analysis of R0 was also completed. Finally, we fit the model to actual data on Usutu virus titers. Our study provides new insights into the dynamics of Usutu virus infection.
