Classical predator-prey system with infection of prey population – a mathematical model. (English) Zbl 1044.34001

A three-dimensional Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system is treated where the prey population is divided into a susceptible and an infective class. Conditions are given for the local stability of the uninfected prey-predator equilibrium, for the endemic equilibrium without predator, and for the global stability of the positive equilibrium of the three-dimensional system. It is also shown that as the infection rate is increased the positive equilibrium undergoes an .
