A stochastic epidemic model with infectivity in incubation period and homestead-isolation on the susceptible.

A stochastic epidemic model with infectivity rate in incubation period and homestead-isolation on the susceptible is developed with the aim of revealing the effect of stochastic white noise on the long time behavior. A good understanding of extinction and strong persistence in the mean of the disease is obtained. Also, we derive sufficient criteria for the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution of the model. Our theoretical results show that the suitably large noise can make the disease extinct while the relatively small noise is advantageous for persistence of the disease and stationary distribution. © Korean Society for Informatics and Computational Applied Mathematics 2021.
