Figure 5. Region of host persistence with no infected individuals (disease extinction) is denoted by ‘open squares’, region of disease persistence is denoted by ‘open circles,’ and region of host extinction is denoted by ‘asterisks’ in (u, σ)-plane with initial condition (p, i)=(1, 0.0001). Here, α=0.1, d=0.25, r=0.2, u∈(0, 0.5), and σ>1.
