Abstract

In this paper, we study a diffusive SIS epidemic model with a logistic source, saturation rate, and spontaneous infection mechanism. Based on the uniform bounds of parabolic system, the global attractivity of the endemic equilibrium is established in a homogeneous environment. Moreover, we prove the existence of the endemic equilibrium via the topological degree theory. We mainly analyze the effects of dispersal, saturation, and spontaneous infection on the limiting behaviors of the endemic equilibrium. These results show that spontaneous infection and the logistic source can enhance the persistence of infectious disease, causing the disease to become more threatening.
