Abstract

A two-patch SIS model is formulated and studied. The standard incidence rate and mass-action incidence rate are used within each patch and during transport, respectively. The basic reproduction number is calculated and the global dynamics is investigated. The simulation results show the influence of travel rates, the different dynamics by using standard incidence rate and mass-action incidence rate. The importance of border screening is also explored by numerical simulation.
