## Abstract    Related pages

We present a two delays SEIR epidemic model with a saturation incidence rate. One delay is the time taken by the infected individuals to become infectious (i.e. capable to infect a susceptible individual), the second delay is the time taken by an infectious individual to be removed from the infection. By iterative schemes and the comparison principle, we provide global attractivity results for both the equilibria, i.e. the disease-free equilibrium $\mathbf{E}_{0}$ and the positive equilibrium $\mathbf{E}_{+}$, which exists iff the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ is larger than one. If $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ we also provide a permanence result for the model solutions. Finally we prove that the two delays are harmless in the sense that, by the analysis of the characteristic equations, which result to be polynomial trascendental equations with polynomial coefficients dependent upon both delays, we confirm all the standard properties of an epidemic model: $\mathbf{E}_{0}$ is locally asymptotically stable for $\mathcal{R}% _{0}<1$ and unstable for $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$, while if $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ then $\mathbf{E}_{+}$ is always asymptotically stable.
