a b s t r a c t A general SI (Susceptible-Infected) epidemic system of host–parasite interactions operating under Allee effects, horizontal and/or vertical transmission, and where infected individuals experience pathogeninduced reductions in reproductive ability, is introduced. The initial focus of this study is on the analyses of the dynamics of density-dependent and frequency-dependent effects on SI models (SI-DD and SI-FD). The analyses identify conditions involving horizontal and vertical transmitted reproductive numbers, namely those used to characterize and contrast SI-FD and SI-DD dynamics. Conditions that lead to disease-driven extinction, or disease-free dynamics, or susceptible-free dynamics, or endemic disease patterns are identified. The SI-DD system supports richer dynamics including limit cycles while the SI-FD model only supports equilibrium dynamics. SI models under ‘‘small’’ horizontal transmission rates may result in disease-free dynamics. SI models under with and inefficient reproductive infectious class may lead to disease-driven extinction scenarios. The SI-DD model supports stable periodic solutions that emerge from an unstable equilibrium provided that either the Allee threshold and/or the disease transmission rate is large; or when the disease has limited influence on the infectives growth rate; and/or when disease-induced mortality is low. Host-parasite systems where diffusion or migration of local populations manage to destabilize them are examples of what is known as diffusive instability. The exploration of SI-dynamics in the presence of dispersal brings up the question of whether or not diffusive instability is a possible outcome. Here, we briefly look at such possibility within two-patch coupled SIDD and SI-FD systems. It is shown that relative high levels of asymmetry, two modes of transmission, frequency dependence, and Allee effects are capable of supporting diffusive instability. Published by Elsevier Inc.
1. Introduction Parasitism contributes to the selection of future generations of hosts through their impact on factors that lead to reductions in fitness [31] and as a result, wildlife managers must account for emerging and/or re-emerging diseases. Competition for space and resources (finding mates or food) also impact the reproductive q This research of CCC is partially supported by the grant number 1R01GM100471-01 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at the National Institutes of Health.

ability and likelihood of survival of individuals, particularly those housing pathogens or parasites. Hosts’ dynamics (survival in particular) often depends on the ability of a population to maintain a critical mass [36]. The impact of heterogenous transmission factors including multiple transmission modes by altering a population’s dynamics may lessen the plausibility of conservation goals or the economic viability of selected management policies [44]. Hence, it is not surprising that the pressure which parasites or pathogens place on their hosts and the relation of such interactions to community and/or ecosystem structure has been the subject of continuous empirical and theoretical studies. Some of the theoretical consequences associated to host-pathogen dynamics with factors like: (i) multiple modes of disease transmission; (ii) host population density; and (iii) the presence or absence of critical host population thresholds, are addressed in this manuscript. Modes of disease transmission, like horizontal and vertical, differentially facilitate the colonization of host populations by

bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Colonization (horizontal transmission) is sometimes seen as the result of close interactions (contacts) between disease-free host and infected individuals. A contact process that implicitly assumes the sharing of a common, local habitat. The passage of a disease-causing agent from a mother to offspring during the ‘‘ birth’’ process is also sometimes possible (vertical transmission). Feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency (FIV) viruses are transmitted horizontally and vertically. Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum, is transmitted horizontally and vertically. Domesticated dog populations are presumed to be a reservoir for Leishmania infantum; a reservoir maintained by the differential contributions of multiple modes of transmission [46]. The deadly septicaemia, which manages to kill 80% of septicaemia-infected birds, gets lodged in the ovary of surviving birds; passed later to the birds eggs (vertical transmission); spreading horizontally within the hatcher and brooder. Traditionally, density-dependent transmission (DDT) and frequency-dependent transmission (FDT) are two extreme forms of disease transmission. DDT refers to parasite transmission in which the rate of contact between susceptible hosts and the source of new infections increases with host density while FDT refers to the rate of contact between susceptible hosts and the source of new infections is independent of host density. Teasing out the roles of density- and frequency-dependent transmission (DDT versus FDT) on the dynamics of host-parasite systems is carried out for theoretical and policy reasons. FDT is the result of densityindependent contact rates between susceptible and infected individuals. DDT assumes that infection risks increase with host density. Density-dependent transmission (DDT) may require a minimal number of available susceptible hosts, that is, a threshold density, for transmission to occur. Density-dependent parasitic disease transmission plays a role in regulating host population size [3] while frequency-dependent parasitic transmission does not require host density thresholds or regulatory host population constraints on the birth or death rates to ‘‘work’’. In population biology we often lack absolutes. And so, vectorand sexually-transmitted diseases have been seen to thrive in frequency-dependent transmission settings while density-dependent infections that lead to pathogens being shed by infected hosts into common environments may sometimes need a critical mass of susceptible individuals to thrive [4,5]. Pathogens can be spread via ‘‘direct’’ contacts (kissing can spread herpes viruses), aerosol (sneezing can spread influenza viruses), or via indirect contacts (ingesting water contaminated with fecal material can cause result in cholera infections), or through vectors (ticks and mosquitoes often spread viruses and bacteria to their hosts), or via some combination of direct and indirect modes, sometimes mediated by a vector. Empirical work on mice, voles, lady bird beetles, frogs, and plants has shown that pathogen transmission often involve DD and FD transmission modes, with one predominant mode [31]. The negative impact of deliberate releases of pathogens via aerosol or in water systems tends to increase with host density. On the other hand, sexually transmitted pathogens seem to thrive equally well or bad in small or large population settings while some vector-borne diseases have been shown to support frequency-dependent transmission patterns [4,5,21]. Antonovics and Alexander [5] manipulated the density and frequency of infected hosts Silene latifolia and in the process they found out that deposition of the anther smut fungus Microbotryum violaceum by pollinating insects managed to increase with the frequency of infection. A pathogen may or may not be deleterious enough to regulate the dynamics of host populations and so it is not surprising that the impact of pathogens on hosts is tied in to virulence. Pathogen’s levels of virulence differentially impacts host’s fitness. Often, increases in virulence result in a reduced probability survival or a
diminished ability of a host to reproduce successfully, or both [3,31,27]. Pathogens whose transmission successes increases with host density seem to have managed to select for variants capable of regulating a host population. [19] studied a host-pathogen system where a detailed account of virus titer on infected hosts could be estimated. Their study focused on studying the ability of the Myxoma virus to control an exploding rabbit populations over a long window in time. Empirical evidence from systems involving conjunctivitis in house finches or parasitic nematodes in red grouse and feral Soay sheep provide an example of a system where disease regulates population size [24,30,29]. Pathogen infections are contributors to the decline or the extinction of some species [19,14,49,52]. The deleterious role of chytridiomycosis in amphibians, chestnut blight in American chestnuts, avian malaria in Hawaiian birds, devil facial tumour disease in Tasmanian devils, or sudden oak death in Californian trees provide classical examples of the role of disease in regulating a population. Theory suggests that density-dependent specialist pathogens (i.e., those infecting a single host) alone rarely drive their hosts’ extinction but can lead to extinction of the pathogen while frequency-dependent transmission may be capable of supporting significant decreases, including the potential extinction of host and parasite populations in the presence of moderately lethal pathogens [10,21,39]. The impact of disease outbreaks can be devastating and their dynamics must be particularly monitored within populations near extinction; that is, those with population levels near established Allee effects thresholds [1,12,35,50,51]. The relevance of threshold effects has been identified within a wide array of taxa [12,40]. Populations under Allee effects or facing extinction or both must be effectively managed [16,27]. The fragility of these populations means that limiting the transmission of highly deleterious diseases is critical [11,27]. Recurrent infectious disease outbreaks tend to enhance the deleterious role of Allee effects within diseases capable of inducing reductions in host fitness [25,11,54,27,52,28,22,37,38]. The results of this manuscript seem to be in sync with the overall conclusions reached the study of predator–prey systems (e.g., [13,20,18,33,8,34,36]). Parasites and hosts co-evolve in response to environmental clues and/or selective pressures [39]. Mammals, birds, fish, and insects generate mobility patterns as they track resources and as it is well known movement and/or dispersal can impact disease dynamics [2]. In short, mobility has been a key player in the evolution of host-parasite systems. Studies that in addition to disease and mobility (dispersal) also include the impact of Allee effects are not well understood [45,26,37,38]. Hilker et al. [26] used a reaction–diffusion SI model within a frequency-dependent transmission framework in their explorations of the impact of disease and mobility on the spatiotemporal patterns of disease transmission. SI models that incorporate disease-reduced fertility have been explored by a number of researchers (see [17,7]). In [38] a two-patch SI model with density-dependent transmission is used to show that the differential movement of susceptible and infected individuals can enhance or suppress the spread of a disease. A SI model that incorporates a horizontally and vertically transmitted disease; infectives giving birth to infectives; susceptibles giving birth to susceptibles; Allee effects within the net reproduction term; disease-induced death rate; and disease reduced reproductive ability, is used in this manuscript to begin to address questions that include: What is the role of multiple modes of transmission? Will density-dependent and frequencydependent vertical transmission affect host-parasite dynamics differentially? Under what conditions would Allee effects alter disease-free dynamics or facilitate disease-driven extinction? Would Allee thresholds on reproductive fitness become altered (reduced) by disease? What is the role of DDT or FDT in support of diffusive instability?

In Section 2, a general SI (Susceptible-Infected) model with Allee effects built in the reproduction that incorporates horizontal and vertical transmission modes, is formulated. The basic dynamic properties of the model are characterized, in particular, sufficient conditions in support of disease-free and persistence of species results are identified (Theorem 2.1 and its Corollary 2.2). In Section 3, the dynamics of SI models under frequencydependent or density-dependent horizontal transmission are contrasted. Boundary dynamics are characterized (Proposition 3.1) and and sufficient conditions for disease- and susceptiblepopulation persistence are provided in Theorem 3.2. A classification of interior dynamics comes in Theorem 3.3. In Section 4, disease-driven extinction, disease-free or susceptible-free dynamics, and endemic persistent dynamics are characterized. The nature of bifurcations supported by SI models is studied with the aid of the reproduction numbers linked to horizontal and vertical transmission modes. In Section 5, sufficient conditions leading to diffusive instability (Theorem 5.1) are identified. The nature of mechanisms potentially capable of supporting diffusive instability in SI-models and prey–predator models, is briefly discussed. The implications of the results in this manuscript are discussed in the Conclusion.
Thus, the population model described by Eq. (2.2) converges to 0 if initial conditions are below K or converges to its carrying capacity K þ whenever the initial conditions are above K . Note: The formulation of this SI model (2.1) is similar in approach to that found in [6,11,12,27,52,36], particularly in the way we model the effects of Allee effects and disease. Our models allow for infectives to give birth to infectives with the caveat that their reproductive ability may be reduced; a feat that being captured with the parameter q. The need for biological consistency (well posed model) is addressed with the help of the state-space naturally associated with Model (2.1), namely, X ¼ fðS; IÞ 2 R2þ g with its interior defined as X ¼ fðS; IÞ 2 R2þ : S > 0 and I > 0g. The state space when /ðNÞ ¼ b is X ¼ fðS; IÞ 2 R2þ : S þ I > 0g. The assumption that f ðNÞ is differentiable leads to the following theorem for Model (2.1): Theorem 2.1 (Basic dynamical features of (2.1)). Assume that r > 0; d > 0; q 2 ½0; 1 and both f ; / are continuous in X with f satisfying Condition (2.3), then the system (2.1) is positively invariant and bounded in X with the following property
lim sup NðtÞ ¼ lim sup ðSðtÞ þ IðtÞÞ 6 K þ : t!1
2. An SI model with Allee effects and vertical transmission The model outlined in this section deals with a population facing a disease that can be effectively captured within a SI framework under assumptions that include the possibility of multiple modes of transmission, that is, horizontal and vertical. It is therefore assumed that infected individuals can give birth to infected hosts; that Allee effects alter the net reproduction term (possibly due to mating limitations or predator saturation); the presence of increases in mortality due to disease-induced deaths; and the fact that infected individuals may experience reductions in reproductive ability. We let S and I denote the susceptible and infective populations, respectively, with N ¼ S þ I denoting the total host population. The approach followed from [11] leads to the following set of nonlinear equations after the incorporation of the above assumptions:
dS ¼ dt
rSf ðNÞ |fflfflffl{zfflfflffl}

dI I ¼ /ðNÞ S þ dt N

3. If

þ r qf ðNÞg < d, then lim sup IðtÞ ¼ 0. t!1
Proof. Since both S ¼ 0 and I ¼ 0 are invariant manifold for the system (2.1), then according to the continuity of the system, we can easily show that (2.1) is positively invariant in X. In addition, the system (2.1) gives the following equation:
dN ¼ rðS þ qIÞf ðNÞ dI dt

1. If K 6 N 6 K þ , we have the following inequalities
dN dt ¼ rðS þ qIÞf ðNÞ dI 6 rNf ðNÞ
r qNf ðNÞ dN ¼ Nðr qf ðNÞ dÞ 6
Additional death due to infections
where r > 0; q 2 ½0; 1; d > 0 are respectively the intrinsic growth rate, the reduction of growth rate due to disease, and the excess death rate from the disease. The horizontal transmission term /ðNÞ includes density-dependent transmission, /ðNÞ ¼ bN (the law of mass action) or frequency-dependent transmission, /ðNÞ ¼ b (proportionate mixing or standard incidence). In the absence of disease, the SI Model (2.1) reduces to the following single species growth model:
ð2:2Þ
where the per capita growth function rf ðNÞ is subject to strong Allee effects, i.e., there exists an Allee threshold K and a carrying capacity K þ such that
f ðNÞ < 0 if 0 < N < K or N > K þ ;
which indicates that limt!1 NðtÞ ¼ 0 if Nð0Þ < K since f ðNÞ satisfies the condition (2.3), i.e., f ðNÞ > 0 when K 6 N 6 K þ . Similarly, if N < K or N > K þ , then we have the following inequalities
dN dt ¼ rðS þ qIÞf ðNÞ dI 6 r qNf ðNÞ
rNf ðNÞ dN ¼ Nðrf ðNÞ dÞ 6
f ðK Þ ¼ f ðK þ Þ ¼ 0:
ð2:3Þ
ð2:6Þ
which indicates that lim supt!1 NðtÞ 6 K if Nð0Þ > K since f ðNÞ satisfies the condition (2.3), i.e., f ðNÞ < 0 when N < K or N > K þ . The discussion above also implies that lim supt!1 NðtÞ 6 K þ . 2. If there exists a positive number a > K such that r qf ðaÞ > d, then according to (2.5), we have
dN j P r qf ðNÞ djN¼a > 0: Ndt N¼a
f ðNÞ > 0 if K < N

Proof. The application of Theorem 2.1 is direct by letting r ¼ 1; f ðNÞ ¼ ðN hÞð1 NÞ and /ðNÞ ¼ b or bN. We only show the item 3. Since we have
1. The size of the initial population is extremely important for persistence regardless of the disease due to Allee effects. 2. The total population will not be above its carrying capacity K þ in the long run. 3. Species persistence requires that the initial population a is above the Allee threshold K , and excess deaths rdq are small enough, smaller than the per capita growth function evaluated at the total population a, i.e., f ðaÞ > rdq. 4. In the absence of vertical transmission, disease free dynamics requires that

therefore, the system (2.7), (2.8) has the following property

S/ðNÞ þ rqf ðNÞ ¼ bS þ qðN hÞð1 hÞ 6 b þ qðN hÞð1 hÞ N qð1 hÞ2 : 6bþ 4 2
Therefore, if b þ qð1hÞ < d, we have lim sup IðtÞ ¼ 0 for the system 4 t!1 (2.7), (2.8) and the system (2.9), (2.10). h
leads to the following two SI models with both horizontal and vertical transmission and Allee effects:
Notes: The traditional basic reproduction number for SI- Allee effects free- and vertical transmission free-models, namely R0 ¼ bd is naturally no longer relevant. The item 3 of Corollary 2.2 indicates that the additional condition is needed for disease-free dynamics. Since our systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) involve both horizontal and vertical disease transmissions, their dynamics can be governed by the vertical transmission reproduction number, i.e., Rv0 ¼ qd , and the horizontal transmission reproduction number, i.e., Rh0 ¼ bd. The remainder of this article focuses on the dynamics of the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10).

where f ðNÞ ¼ ðN hÞð1 NÞ is the per capita growth in the absence of disease; the parameter h ¼ KK þ represents the Allee threshold; q 2 ½0; 1 represents the reduce reproductive ability due to the disease; b represents the disease transmission rate while d denotes the additional death rate coming from infections. The direct application of Theorem 2.1 to the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) gives the following corollary:
Thus, we artificially define ð0; 0Þ as the extinction equilibrium. Hence, the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) have the same boundary dynamics since both of them can be reduced to the system given by
dS ¼ SðS hÞð1 SÞ if I ¼ 0 dt and

if S ¼ 0:
Therefore, the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) have the following three boundary equilibria

We have arrived at the following proposition regarding the boundary equilibria of the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10): Proposition 3.1 (Boundary equilibria of the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10)).

Theorem 3.2 (Persistence of disease or susceptibles). Assume that Rv0 > 4 2 and the initial condition Nð0Þ 2 ðh2 ; K 2 Þ then the following ð1hÞ statements follow: 1. For the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10), a sufficient condition for the persistence of disease is Rh0 > 1. 2. For the system (2.7), (2.8), a sufficient condition for the persistence of susceptibles is Rh0 < q1 while for the system (2.9), (2.10) is Rh0 < q1K 2 . The persistence of disease (or susceptibles) means that there exists a positive number such that

Letting BS ¼ fðS; IÞ 2 X : a 6 S þ I 6 1g \ fI ¼ 0g and BI ¼ fðS; IÞ 2 X : a 6 S þ I 6 1g \ fS ¼ 0g leads to the facts that (i) BS and BI are positively invariant and that (ii) the omega limit set of BS is E1;0 while the omega limit set of BI is E0;1 . The results (Theorem 2.5 and its corollary) in [32] guarantee that the persistence of disease is determined by the sign of dI dI Idt jBS ¼ Idt jE1;0 while the persistence of susceptibles is determined dS dI by the sign of Sdt jBI ¼ Idt jE0;1 .

We postulate (throughout the rest of this manuscript) that the system (2.7), (2.8) or the system (2.9), (2.10) have disease-free dynamics if its attractor is E0;0 [ E1;0 ; or the system (2.7), (2.8) or (2.9), (2.10) has susceptibles-free dynamics if its attractor is E0;0 [ E0;1 ; or the system (2.7), (2.8) or (2.9), (2.10) has disease-driven extinction if its attractor is E0;0 .
3.1. Interior equilibrium Notice that the equilibria of the system (2.7), (2.8) satisfy the following equations:
bI NðN hÞð1 NÞ ¼ 0 ) S ¼ 0 or I ¼ S0 ¼ S ðN hÞð1 NÞ ; N b bS þ qðN hÞð1 NÞ d ¼ 0 ) I ¼ 0 or I0 ¼ I N N½d qðN hÞð1 NÞ : S¼ b The equilibria of the system (2.9), (2.10) satisfy the following equations

Therefore, applications of the results in (Theorem 2.5 and its corollary, [32]) allows us to conclude that: 1. A sufficient condition for the persistence of susceptibles in the 2 system (2.7), (2.8) is that ð1hÞ > q1 > b=d ¼ Rh0 as long initial 4d condition are such that Nð0Þ 2 ðh2 ; K 2 Þ. 2. A sufficient condition for the persistence of susceptibles in the 2 system (2.9), (2.10) is that ð1hÞ > q1 > bK 2 =d ¼ Rh0 K 2 as long 4d initial condition are such that Nð0Þ 2 ðh2 ; K 2 Þ. h Note: The system (2.7), (2.8) or the system (2.9), (2.10) satisfies the definition of permanence provided that there exists a positive number such that for any Nð0Þ 2 ðh2 ; K 2 Þ

If we let ðS ; I Þ be an interior equilibrium of the system (2.7), (2.8) or the system (2.9), (2.10) then we have that: 1. The following equation

1þh b 1þh < N < : 2 2ð1 qÞ 2 If the system (2.9), (2.10) has two interior equilibria N i ; i ¼ 1; 2 then using their expressions and the criteria for interior stability allow us to conclude that N 1 is always a saddle while N 2 can be a sink or source. If, on the other hand, the system (2.9), (2.10) has only one interior equilibrium, namely N2 , then we see that it can be a sink or source depending on parameter values. The above discussion can be summarized in the following theorem: Theorem 3.3 (Interior equilibria of Models). Let Ei1 ¼ ðS1 ; I1 Þ and Ei2 ¼ ðS2 ; I2 Þ then existence and stability conditions for the interior equilibria of the system (2.7), (2.8) are listed in Table 3.2.

In short, sufficient conditions for the existence of interior equilibria and their stability have been identified and listed in Table 3.2 for the system (2.7), (2.8) and in Table 3.3 for the system (2.9), (2.10). The above analysis has identified conditions (sufficient) that guarantee the absence of interior equilibria for the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10); listed inTable 3.4. In the absence of interior equilibrium, we can conclude thanks to the Poincaré–Bendixson Theorem [23], that a trajectory starting with arbitrary initial conditions in X converge to its locally asymptotically stable boundary equilibria since the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) support each a global compact attractor fðS; IÞ 2 X : 0 6 S þ I 6 1g in X. The fact that E0;0 is always an attractor results according to Proposition 3.1 in the following three cases: 1. Disease-free dynamics that corresponds to the case where E0;0 and E1;0 are the only locally asymptotically stable boundary equilibria while other existing boundary equilibria are unstable. This implies that b 6 d (i.e., Rh0 1) is a sufficient condition in support of disease-free dynamics within the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10). 2. Susceptible-free dynamics that corresponds to the case where E0;0 and E0;1 are the only locally asymptotically stable boundary equilibria while other existing boundary equilibria (including
Thus, if the system (2.7), (2.8) has boundary equilibria on the I-axis, 1q 4 4 i.e., Rv0 > ð1hÞ 2 , then the no interior equilibria condition bd < ð1hÞ2 says that the boundary equilibrium E0;h is a source while E0;1 is locally asymptotically stable according to Proposition 3.1 and the fact that

Corollary 2.2, Proposition 3.1, and Theorem 3.2, 3.3 lead to the study of three cases for the system (2.7), (2.8): 1. The disease-driven extinction occurs in the situation depicted in 2

addition to the conditions of non-existence of interior equilibrium. Our results imply that large value of Rh0 and Rv0 may lead to the susceptible-free dynamics 3. Disease-driven extinction that corresponds to the case where E0;0 is the only locally asymptotically stable boundary equilibria provided that there is no boundary equilibria on the I-axis a result based on Theorem 3.2. This implies that 1 < Rh0 < q1K 2 4 and Rv0 < ð1hÞ 2 for the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) in conjunction to the conditions that there are no interior equilibrium.

The system (2.7), (2.8) may also support disease-driven extinction whenever it supports an interior equilibrium. In such a case, disease-driven extinction occurs as a result of catastrophic events, that is, when a stable limit cycles merges with the adjacent saddle, leading to the annihilation of the susceptible and infected sub-populations. 2. An endemic situation occurs whenever the system (2.7), (2.8) supports the interior equilibria shown in Fig. 4.2. A necessary condition is that

sufficient condition leading to Fig. 4.2(a) is 1. Small values of q make the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) prone to disease-driven extinction since one necessary condi4 tion for disease-driven extinction requires that Rv0 < ð1hÞ 2 according to Theorem 3.2. This also suggests that vertical transmission may save a species from extinction provided that the reproductive ability of infectives is large enough (some additional conditions must be met). 2. The system (2.7), (2.8) has simpler dynamics than the system (2.9), (2.10). In fact, the system (2.7), (2.8) has no interior equilibria or two interior equilibria (a saddle and a sink) while the system (2.9), (2.10) may have one or two interior equilibria.

The SI model with frequency-dependent transmissions or the system (2.7), (2.8) supports relatively simple equilibrium dynamics. It can support no interior or two interior equilibria, with one of the interior equilibrium always stable (see Theorem 3.3, Tables 3.3, 3.4 and Fig. 3.1).

1. A horizontal transmission reproduction number less than 1 supports disease-free dynamics for the system (2.7), (2.8) (see Theorem 3.3 when combined with the relevant results in Table 3.4). 2. Both initial condition Nð0Þ ¼ Sð0Þ þ Ið0Þ and the value of the vertical transmission reproduction number, Rv0 , are important in determining global dynamics (see Corollary 2.2 and Theorem 3.3). We can conclude that large values of Rv0 tend to lead to susceptible-free dynamics; while intermediate values of Rv0

The ecological and evolutionary dynamics of host-pathogen or host-parasite systems are theoretically challenging for factors that include the impact of recurrent disease invasion, the ability of a parasite or pathogen to modify a host’s mobility-tied fitness, or reducing life span, or limiting/eliminating reproductive ability. Dispersal is capable of shaping the boundaries of habitats through increases or reductions on the size of the sphere-of-influence of infectious hosts, a cumulative process possibly altering infection rates (reductions or increases in effective contact rates), or its ability to generate clusters, or disease-driven selection of particular behavioral types [2,15,41,43]. Diffusive instability arises when diffusion or migration destabilizes stable situations [47,41,48]. It may emerge as a result of the dynamics of meta-population systems when coupled by dispersal or reaction-diffusion [15,41,43]. The possible emergence of diffusive instability from two-patch systems, coupled by dispersal, when the local dynamics are governed by variants of the general SI-FD or SI-DD systems, is briefly addressed in this section. [47] using a simple predator–prey model studied the possibility of diffusive instability in predator–prey systems. Hence, first, some
The above discussion and the associated analytical results, including Proposition 3.1, Theorems 2.1, 3.2, 3.3 lead us to conclude that the effects of parameters q; d; b; h on the dynamics of the system (2.9), (2.10) can be summarized as follows: 1. The values of the reproduction number of horizontal transmission Rh0 ¼ bd and the reproduction number of vertical transmission Rv0 ¼ qd determine the dynamics of the system (2.9), (2.10): 4 If 1 < Rh0 < 1b and Rv0 < ð1hÞ 2 , then the system (2.9), (2.10) has no boundary equilibrium on the I-axis and it may have the disease-driven extinction in certain range of parameter values. If the system (2.9), (2.10) has the intermediate values of Rv0 , n o 4 i.e., max ð1hÞ < Rv0 < c2 , then the system tends to have 2 ; c1 susceptible-free dynamics.

classical results addressing the emergence of diffusive instability in predator–prey systems, are revisited. Segel and Jackson [47] showed that the addition of random dispersal was enough to generate instability from an otherwise initially stable uniform steadystate distribution. Diffusive instability, as shown by [41], also arises from the effects of dispersal on predator–prey interactions under the pressure of Allee effects. Segel and Levin [48] used approximate methods and a multiple-time scale theoretical approach in their development of a small amplitude nonlinear theory of prey–predator interactions under random dispersal; a process modeled via diffusion-like terms in discrete and continuous settings. Segel and Levin [48] showed that dispersal can destabilize spatially uniform states; diffusive instability moving the system to new nonuniform steady states. Levin and Segel [48,42] noted that the emergence of diffusive instabilities may explain some of the spatial irregularities observed in nature. The possibility of diffusive instability in general SI models is briefly discussed since identifying conditions that lead to diffusive instability on systems where disease and dispersal play a non-independent role are explored. The discussion below, we hope, will instigate further research on the study of diffusive instability in the settings introduced in this manuscript. A general SI-model can be represented abstractly via the following set of equations
dS ¼ f ðS; IÞ dt dI ¼ gðS; IÞ; dt
ð5:1Þ
operating under the assumption that the system (5.1) has a local asymptotically stable interior equilibrium ðS ; I Þ, an assumption formulated using the inequalities
fS þ g I < 0 and f S g I fI g S > 0 where fS ¼

The inclusion of dispersal leads, for example, to the study of symmetric two-patch models. An example of such a system is given by the following set of equations:
dS1 ¼ f ðS1 ; I1 Þ þ lS ðS2 S1 Þ dt dI1 ¼ gðS1 ; I1 Þ þ lI ðI2 I1 Þ dt dS2 ¼ f ðS2 ; I2 Þ þ lS ðS1 S2 Þ dt dI2 ¼ gðS2 ; I2 Þ þ lI ðI1 I2 Þ dt
ð5:3Þ
where lS is the dispersal rate of the S-class and lI is the dispersal rate of I-class. A typical pseudo diffusion model analog, involving constant diffusion coefficients, is given by the following system:
@S ¼ DS DS þ f ðS; IÞ dt @I ¼ DI DI þ gðS; IÞ dt
ð5:4Þ
where D is the Laplacian; DS ; DI are the constant diffusion coefficients for susceptibles and infectives, respectively. We say the SI Model (5.1) supports diffusive instability (or Turing Effects) if ðS ; I Þ is a locally asymptotically stable interior equilibrium of the system (5.1) but ðS ; I ; S ; I Þ becomes unstable when embedded in the symmetric two-patch model given by the system (5.3) for certain values of lI ; lS . We can achieve similar results as long as the ðS ; I Þ equilibrium is unstable for the Diffusion the system (5.4) at least for some values of DS ; DI . The following theorem provides conditions that support the diffusive instability of the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10): Theorem 5.1 (Diffusive instability). The general SI model (5.1) can have diffusive instability only if fS g I < 0. In particular, the system (2.7), (2.8) can support diffusive instability provided that the following inequalities hold

which has four eigenvalues ki ; i ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4. These four eigenvalues satisfy the following two conditions: 1. k1 and k2 are eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix of the SI model (5.1) evaluated at ðS ; I Þ, thus they are both negatives. 2. k3 and k4 have the following properties:
k3 þ k4 ¼ 2ðfS þ g I lS lI Þ < 0 and This implies that ðS ; I ; S ; I Þ is an interior equilibrium of its twopatch model (5.3) with its stability being determined by the sign of K. Thus, diffusive instability can occur only if K < 0 which indicates that fS g I < 0, that is, if either fS or g I , is positive then ðfS lI þ g I lS Þ > 0 can be made positive and large enough with the right combination of lS ; lI ; in other words, we conclude that for these parameter values, we have that K < 0. For example, if fS > 0 then we can select the dispersal rate of the I-class lI large enough and the dispersal rate of S-class lS small so that the condition K < 0 is met. Now, under g I > 0 diffusive instability may be possible as long as lS is large and lI is small. Relying on the discussion in Section 8.9 of [9], we conclude that ðS ; I Þ is a steady state of its reaction-diffusion model, namely Model (5.4), where the necessary and sufficient conditions for diffusive instability are given by

which implies that g I < 0 since N > 1þh . Therefore the possibility of 2 diffusive instability in the system (2.7), (2.8) requires that fS > 0. Since
1. If fS > 0 and g I < 0, then diffusive instability for the patchy model (5.3) requires that llSI is large enough and lS < f2S while diffusive instability for the reaction–diffusion model (5.4) requires that DI is large enough. DS 2. If fS < 0 and g I > 0, then diffusive instability for the patchy model (5.3) requires llSI to be large enough and lI < g2I while diffusive instability for the reaction-diffusion model (5.4) requires DDSI to be large enough. In addition, Theorem 5.1 indicates that the SI system (2.7), (2.8) with frequency-dependent horizontal transmission can support diffusive instability under certain conditions. For example, when the system (2.7), (2.8) has b ¼ 1; d ¼ 0:85; q ¼ 0:05; h ¼ 0:2, then it has two interior equilibria
Ei1 ¼ ðS1 ; I1 Þ ¼ ð0:4666247185; 0:08749213472Þ and Ei2 ¼ ðS2 ; I2 Þ ¼ ð0:5439015973; 0:1019815495Þ where Ei1 is a saddle and Ei2 is locally asymptotically stable with
fS ¼ 0:0830521552 > 0;
f I ¼ 0:7590531079;
g S ¼ 0:02446282446 and g I ¼ 0:1334319123 < 0: Thus if we choose llSI (or DDSI ) large enough and lS < f2S then diffusive instability occurs. These results agree with the study of predator–prey systems by Timm and Okubo [53], which suggest that the existence of diffusive instability in such systems may require density effects on intra-specific coefficients and on a predator’s diffusivity that must be sufficiently larger when compared to the prey’s. There is a critical value involving the ratio of the prey/predator diffusivities that must be crossed before diffusive instability sets in. An alternative SI model 5.5, 5.6 with Allee effects and horizontal and vertical transmission disease that can also support diffusive instability is given by the system

Thus, if we choose llSI (or DDSI ) large enough and lI < g2I , then diffusive instability occurs. This suggests that the existence of diffusive instability in 5.5, 5.6 requires that susceptible’s diffusivity is sufficiently larger than that of infectives with a critical value involving the ratio of the susceptible/infectives diffusivities moving beyond a threshold after which diffusive instability sets in.

Notice that the positivity of g I comes from the assumption that yi is able to survive without xi , i.e., yi ! 1 if yi ð0Þ > L=d. If there is no Allee effects, i.e., d ¼ 0, then the prey–predator Model (5.14) does not have diffusive instability. However, if we replace a Holling-Type I functional response with a Beddington–DeAngelis type functional response in the prey–predator Model (5.14) with d ¼ 0, then we obtain the following two-patch prey predator model that can have diffusive instability:

Prey–predator models (5.14), (5.16)] and models not supporting diffusive instability [SI-models 2.9, 2.10, 5.8, 5.9; the prey–predator model (5.14) with d ¼ 0] are summarized in Table 5.1.
ð5:17Þ
For example, if K ¼ :5; L ¼ 0:01; c ¼ 2:5; a ¼ :1; h1 ¼ 1:5; h2 ¼ 1:; b ¼ 1; l ¼ m ¼ 0, then prey–predator Model (5.14) has a unique locally asymptotically stable interior equilibrium ðx ; y ; x ; y Þ ¼ ð0:008084; 1:008; 0:008084; 1:008Þ with fS ¼ 0:0022 > 0; g I ¼ 0:005. In this section, we have discussed diffusive instability in the context of five different SI-models and three different Prey–predator models. So, what are the criterions and mechanisms leading to diffusive instabilities? Comparisons between models supporting diffusive instability [SI-Models 2.7, 2.8, 5.5, 5.6, 5.11, 5.12;
Parasites and pathogens are sometimes effective ‘‘regulators of natural populations’’ [3,19]. Hence, it is of theoretical and empirical interest to study when multiple transmission modes are preferred; or whether pathogen/disease transmission depends on either host population density or its frequency; or the role of small populations (Allee effects) on populations living under the selection pressures placed by pathogens or parasites. Answers to such questions are needed to assess the role and impact of selection on populations, communities and ecosystems. In this manuscript, we explore the contributions of some of these factors on the dynamics of host-parasite interactions within a controlled setting, namely a general SI model that includes: (a) Horizontally and vertically-transmitted disease modes, (b) Net reproduction terms that account for the limitations posed by Allee effects, (c) Disease induced death rates, and (d) Diseasedriven reductions in reproduction ability. The analyses carried out in the prior sections leads to the following conclusions and observations: Density- versus frequency-dependent horizontal transmission: From Theorem 3.3, we know that the system (2.7), (2.8) can have two interior equilibria, one a saddle and one a locally asymptotically stable equilibrium. the system (2.9), (2.10) can support stable limit cycles that emerge via Hopf-Bifurcation (see Fig. 4.4 and 4.10). In other words, the SI model with density-dependent horizontal transmission turns out to support more complicated outcomes than its frequency-dependent counterpart. Effects of q; b; d and h: Rh0 ¼ bd is identified as the horizontaltransmission reproduction number and Rv0 ¼ qd as the verticaltransmission reproduction number. 1. Theorem 2.1 and its Corollary 2.2 assert that for the SI systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10), sufficiently large initial conditions (Nð0Þ ¼ Sð0Þ þ Ið0Þ) and Rv0 can prevent extinction. 2. Proposition 3.1, Theorem 3.2 and Theorem 3.3 imply that whenever Rh0 6 1 we can expect disease-free dynamics in the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10). 3. The SI-FD given by the system (2.7), (2.8) tends to support susceptible-free dynamics under large values of Rv0 ; coexistence of susceptibles and infectives under intermediate values of Rv0 ; and disease-driven extinction for small values of Rv0 . 4. The SI-DD system (2.9), (2.10) supports the following outcomes: (i) No boundary equilibrium on the I-axis and possibly disease-driven extinction for a range of parameter 4 values whenever 1 < Rh0 < 1b and Rv0 < ð1hÞ 2 . (ii) Suscepti-
ble-free dynamics for Rv0 -intermediate values; values that n o 4 < Rv0 < c2 . (iii) An satisfy the inequality max ð1hÞ 2 ; c1 unique interior equilibrium whenever Rh0 > 1b and possibly two interior equilibria if 1 < Rh0 < 1b. (iv) Large values of
q; h; b and small values of d can destabilize the system (bifurcation diagrams; Fig. 4.9). Horizontal versus vertical modes of transmission in the SI systems: Small values of the horizontal transmission rate can lead to the disease-free dynamics for both the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) with low reproductive rates for infectives
Y. Kang, C. Castillo-Chavez / Mathematical Biosciences 248 (2014) 97–116
leading, under certain conditions, to disease-driven extinction. The systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) have similar dynamics to those of the SI-model
dS ¼ SðN hÞð1 NÞ dt dI ¼ qIðN hÞð1 NÞ dI dt
ð6:1Þ
whenever the horizontal-transmission reproductive number is not greater than 1 (Rh0 6 1) and the vertical-transmission reproduction number is dominant. In this case, the system (6.1) has E0;0 [ E1;0 as its global attractor (disease-free dynamics). If horizontal transmission is dominant, that is, the vertical transmission rate is small due to the low reproductive ability (q) of those in4 fected (Rv0 P ð1hÞ 2 ) then the systems (2.7), (2.8) and (2.9), (2.10) have similar dynamics to those supported by the SI-Models (6.2) and (6.3), respectively:
dS bSI ¼ SðN hÞð1 NÞ dt N dI bSI ¼ dI dt N
ð6:2Þ
dS ¼ SðN hÞð1 NÞ bSI dt dI ¼ bSI dI: dt
ð6:3Þ
and
Model (6.2) and (6.3) can in fact have the disease-driven extinction, under some conditions. Diffusive instability: Sufficient conditions leading to diffusive instability (Theorem 5.1 in Section 5) require that SI/Prey–Predator models support a locally asymptotically stable interior equilibrium with the product of the diagonal entries of the Jacobian matrix (evaluated at this interior equilibrium) being negative. In this manuscript, we have investigated possible ways for diffusive instability to emerge in five different SI-models while contrasting their behavior with those of three different prey– predator models. The results of these comparisons have been summarized (Table 5.1). From Table 5.1 we conclude that: 1. In the context of our SI models, asymmetricity and nonlinearity that emerge as a result of frequency-dependent horizontal transmission or some forms of vertical transmission in populations under Allee effects, can generate diffusive instability. 2. In the context of prey-predator models, asymmetricity and nonlinearity arising from certain forms of functional responses such as Beddington-DeAngelis type functional response or Allee effects in the predator population, can generate diffusive instability. In conclusion, the presence of asymmetricity and nonlinearity such as nonlinear density dependent factors including Allee effects, could be critical for the generation of diffusive instabilities in both SI models and prey–predator models.
