On the dynamics of a delayed SIR epidemic model with a modified saturated incidence rate

Abdelilah Kaddar

Abstract:
In this paper, a delayed SIR epidemic model with modified saturated incidence rate is proposed. The local stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are established. Also some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical analysis.
