Abstract
We compute the basic reproduction ratio of a SEIS model with
n classes of latent individuals and bilinear incidence.The system exhibits the
traditional behaviour. We prove that if R0 ≤1, then the disease-free equilibrium
is globally asymptotically stable on the nonnegative orthant and if
R0 > 1, an endemic equilibrium exists and is globally asymptotically stable
on the positive orthant.
