Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behavior of a class of periodic SVEIR epidemic model. Since the nonautonomous phenomenon often occurs as cyclic pattern, our model is then a periodic time-dependent system. It follows from persistence theory that the basic reproduction number is the threshold parameter above which the disease is uniformly persistent and below which disease-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable. The threshold dynamics extends the classic results for the corresponding autonomous model. Furthermore, we show that eradication policy on the basis of the basic reproduction number of the autonomous system may overestimate the infectious risk when the disease follows periodic behavior. The according simulation results are also given.
