Abstract
Two mathematical models of malaria with relapse are studied. When the vector population size is constant, complete analyses of the dynamics are conducted. The geometric singular perturbation theory is used to analyze the full dynamics. On the critical manifold, from next generation matrix method, we obtain the basic reproduction number. The global stability of disease-free equilibrium and the uniformly persistence of malaria have also been analyzed. While the vector population size is variable, the basic reproduction number and the stability of disease-free as well as the malaria-infected equilibrium have been obtained in a similar way. Some numerical simulations are also given.Entities:
